Current Fellows' research
- Critical Raw Materials and Competing Futures on Earth and in SpaceMany human activities exceed the planetary scale, yet all are inescapably grounded in specific places and times. Whether we are discussing the energy transition, space exploration, warfare, or disaster recovery, these activities rely on hardware positioned on Earth or in space.
- 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.
- Faith and Flag: Religious Nationalism in the Age of PopulismThe gods are once again afoot in the public square. Across the globe, a toxic mixture of religion and nationalism is upending liberal conventions. In the United States, Christian nationalists have reshaped both the Republican Party and American politics.
- A Tale of Three CitiesThis project consists of a deep dive into three case studies in Central and Eastern Europe to understand what helped them change the momentum and start attracting talent, instead of losing it.
- Aneta Anra: Jehudit. Pasaulis galėtų būti toks gražus [Jehudit. How Beautiful the World Could Be] (LIT > POL)The aim of the project is to translate Aneta Anra’s book into Polish. Jehudit is a documented story about the Shoah, told from the point of view of two women in their declining years: a Holocaust survivor and a Polish savior of Lithuanian Jews.
- Sense in the Making: Husserl's The Origin of Geometry and the Question of InventionSense in the Making analyzes one of Husserl’s most enigmatic and, at the same time, frequently discussed texts, namely, The Origin of Geometry.
