Current Fellows' research
- Edward Tick: Warrior’s Return: Restoring the Soul After War (ENG > UKR)This book addresses PTSD, focusing especially on how society can assist soldiers who return home from the war in recovering and starting a new life.
- "Bos -poros": The Gendered Body as the Aporetic ThresholdDeniz Guvensoy argues that the border performs itself in a paradoxical counter-turning, which simultaneously enables and endangers binary oppositions in the political space.
- Friend or Foe? Romanian Farmers and the EU-Ukraine Solidarity LanesOne of the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the looming threat of a global food crisis. To counter this, the EU has established so-called “Solidarity Lanes”—transport corridors through the member states neighboring Ukraine.
- Global South WhatsAppers: Local Community Resistance from the MarginsThe main goal of this project is to understand the use of WhatsApp to foster digital activism.
