The Long 1968 in Hungary and Romania

The project, started as a PhD research at the European University Institute in Florence, turned into a book published at De Gruyter in 2024. The research advanced a local, regional, and comparative analysis of the sixty-eighters from Hungary and Romania between 1956 and 1975. One of the aims of the book is to understand where radicalization truly began and when was it solely an auto-perception of the dissident.

Kevin Devlin and his role within Radio Free Europe

This project, started in 2021, has two components. Firstly, I processed and archived the 131 boxes of the collection created by Kevin Devlin within Radio Free Europe. Secondly, throughout the postdoctoral investigations at the CEU and New Europe College, I focused on understanding the knowledge production and classifications within Radio Free Europe.

Civic dissidence in East Germany

As a research assistant within the BUDET project, I investigated the civic engagement in Dresden during socialist regime. Through video interviews with former activists, I examined issues like free speech and trade unions, aiming to empower younger generations to protect democratic values. The outcome was a series of short documentaries created by Jugend und Kulturprojekt e.V.
