About me

My current area of research are literary, cinematic and visual representations of rivers, focusing on how creative interpretations of waterscapes, specifically rivers and lakes, contribute to our understanding of complex social transformations and contentious issues. I am also developing a portfolio of knowledge exchange/impact-generating activities. My current impact spin-off initiative, “The river runs through it: emotions, perceptions, and memories on both sides of the Sava River,” supported by Impact Development Evaluation Fund (IDEF), focuses on the Sava River region, which is a triple border (interstate, EU, Schengen), and affected by the above-mentioned issues.

I am currently a co-director of Arts Lab in Migrations in Humanities. As of 2021 I am also a member of the Royal Society of Edinburgh Young Academy of Scotland
