Current Fellows' research
- Deciphering the Shadows of War: A Legal and Humanistic Inquiry into the Filtration Process in the Russian War against UkraineThis project delves into the complex and largely unexplored phenomenon of 'filtration' in the Russo-Ukrainian War.

- Humans Behind AI: Analyzing Low-Skilled Job Opportunities on Crowdworking PlatformsThis project explores how the expansion of artificial intelligence is transforming the digital labor market through the rise of crowdworking platforms.

- Escaping the Doom Spiral: How to Reclaim the Future for Liberal DemocracyAmid interlinking crises and deep-running transformations—from the energy transition and trade wars to the return of great power politics and the fight to counter disinformation and regulate Big Tech—liberal democracies have struggled to formulate compelling narratives.
