Short Bio
I am a political scientist and analyst of southeast European and international affairs with a PhD from York University in Toronto. My career background is a unique blend of global academic and professional engagement, as I have worked as a scholar, policy analyst, consultant, researcher, and writer in both North America and Europe.
My academic research concentrates primarily on the politics of contemporary southeastern Europe, with a particular focus on the politics of the non-EU states of the Western Balkans. More broadly, my academic fields of interest and expertise are split between international relations, global political economy, and political theory. I am interested in democratization processes, state development (including the process of state and regime failure), and post-conflict and peace studies, in particular as these topics relate to southeastern Europe. These concerns likewise keep me invested in debates on social movements and organized labor, regionally and globally.
My doctoral research concerned the development of the state in the Balkans, in particular, Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH). A work of both political and international relations theory and area studies, my project situates the post-war Dayton constitutional order in BiH in a longer process of state and class formation in the region. I am especially concerned with the experience of democratic thought and the democratic imagination in the Balkans, in the context of what has elsewhere been referred to as "the political." It is precisely through this notion of the political, and the marginalized history of democratic praxis in the Balkans themselves, that I approach my critique of the current constitutional order in BiH.
In terms of professional policy experience, I am currently a Fellow with the EastWest Institute (EWI) and a policy consultant at the regional office of the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in Sarajevo. Previously, I have spent time as an editorial board member and policy adviser of the Culture Shutdown civic initiative and as Fellow and Social Media Director at the Emerging Democracies Institute (EDI). I have also provided my services as a freelance consultant and researcher to a number of development, monitoring, and consultancy agencies, in addition to several years spent working in the labor movement in Canada.
