Research Summary
My background in literary studies and my Eastern European upbringing informs my particular perspective when talking about culture. The focus of my classes is how culture functions in the context of a changing world. This might be related to changes that digitalization has brought upon us (INTL-I 305: Culture in the Digital Age) or rooted deeper in time and exploring questions about representation, identity, and communication (INTL-I 205: Culture and Politics).
