Current Fellows' research
- Exploring the Genesis Moment: Tracking the Making of a New World Order and Europe’s Place in ItAs the existing world order unravels, how the new one will be forged is yet uncertain, as there is no consensus on how to identify the new or upcoming order. Many identifications have been suggested: the world is multipolar, apolar, asymmetrically multipolar, in entropy, or bipolar.
- Deciphering the Shadows of War: A Legal and Humanistic Inquiry into the Filtration Process in the Russian War against UkraineThis project delves into the complex and largely unexplored phenomenon of 'filtration' in the Russo-Ukrainian War. It seeks to unravel this practice as distinct from internment, focusing on its legal and humanitarian implications.
- New Beginnings: Poles by ChoiceUla Idzikowska explores Poland’s transformation from a nation characterized by emigration to an emerging destination for immigrants.
- Transitional Justice for Russia and Accountability in the Age of ImpunityThe 20th century established a moral project of confronting mass violence and systemic injustice through processes of remembrance, justice, and coming to terms with the past under the concept of Vergangenheitsbewältigung.
- Failing the Promise of Inclusive Universities: Uncovering Racialized Sexual Harassment in Spanish UniversitiesEuropean universities, vital engines of knowledge production and democratic participation, face persistent challenges in ensuring inclusive environments.
- Vasily Grossman: Писатель на войне [A Writer at War] (RUS > CRO)This project aims to produce a Croatian translation of A Writer at War by Vasily Grossman, a seminal collection of his frontline dispatches from World War II.
