Current Fellows' research
- The Social (Half)Life of Depleted Uranium in Serbia: From “Cancer Epidemics” to Energy TransitionsNuclear energy is in global focus, experiencing a resurgence as a solution to the energy crisis. At the same time, the possibility of nuclear conflict, revived by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, brings Cold War nuclear anxieties back to the global stage.
- Exploring the Genesis Moment: Tracking the Making of a New World Order and Europe’s Place in ItAs the existing world order unravels, how the new one will be forged is yet uncertain, as there is no consensus on how to identify the new or upcoming order. Many identifications have been suggested: the world is multipolar, apolar, asymmetrically multipolar, in entropy, or bipolar.
- The Regulation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in China: How to Compete and Cooperate from a Global PerspectiveAI technologies are increasingly widespread as potent instruments that drive the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) and the digitalization of economies and societies, enhancing productivity.
- Exploring Leibniz’s View of Infinite Numbers and Its Possible EvolutionThis thesis explores Leibniz’s views on infinity and their potential evolution through engagement with some later philosophies.
- Decolonizing Ukrainian Soviet Fashion: From World War II to IndependenceThe project draws and impacts on a variety of ongoing discourses, including Soviet cultural and nationality politics, the role of art, design, and consumption under authoritarian rule, Cold War soft diplomacy, and the role of the Ukrainian diaspora.
- Provincial Perversions: Class, Ethnicity, and Cultures of Sexual Knowledge in Lviv and Galicia, 1885-1914The project focuses on previously unexplored questions about the production of sexual knowledge in a multiethnic context.
