My work focuses on the political, institutional, social and development-related impacts of Europeanisation and European integration in the Western Balkans. Particular emphasis is placed on the EU's role in post-conflict societal transformation, processes of social reconstruction, peacebuilding and reconciliation, as well as regional cooperation, the strengthening of societal resilience and the promotion of sustainable peace.

My research focuses on the long-term social and psychosocial consequences of armed conflicts, genocide and forced displacement. It explores the intergenerational transmission of trauma, the formation of identity and collective memory, and the interconnected dynamics of remembrance, forgiveness and reconciliation.

I am interested in the historical, social, political and cultural dimensions of migration and diaspora processes, with particular attention to refugee communities that emerged in the aftermath of the conflicts of the 1990s. My work focuses on transnational connections, the formation of diaspora identities, intergenerational relations, and the role of diasporas in the development of their countries of origin.

I explore the opportunities and challenges of international refugee protection and humanitarian response systems through the lens of intergenerational justice. Particular attention is given to protecting the rights and well-being of refugees and their families, trauma-informed, culturally responsive and family-centred approaches to integration, and the promotion of community resilience and long-term social inclusion.
