Fiction as Memory Work: Youth Engagement with Yugoslav Wars Through Literary Fiction

Promoting gender equality through research on access to reproductive care and education on gender stereotypes
We explore how women—especially Roma women—access reproductive healthcare in medically underserved, predominantly rural areas (“medical deserts,” where services are scarce or hard to reach).
Imagining a Nation: The Contesting Serbian National Narratives (XX – XXI centuries)
Within our research, we will utilize Gramsci’s “cultural hegemony” theory, which examines how the dominant class establishes social consensus and imposes its ideological “common sense.”
University Partnership Program in Holocaust Studies
The course helps participants acquire new knowledge about the history and memory of the Holocaust and other genocides, and develop skills related to a scientific approach to these topics.
Intersubjectivity of Affects and Social Change

Closeness and Care: Elderly care in Serbia during the Covid19 pandemic
