• Gender Researcher

  • Apr 2015 - Apr 2017

  Responsible for the facilitation of anthropological research exploring within Serbian communities throughout the Balkans region contemporary local understandings of change and modernity, engagement with the state, personhood and belonging, personal agency and hope, and the worldview that informs those thoughts and practices. In a country where trauma is so pervasive hope often lies within this suffering and the ability to prove that an individual was a victim. With relationships between community members damaged the research explores if relationships of trust between men and women can be restored. Analysing if the past leads to an ongoing and unforgivable segregation and further marginalisation of the Serb Bosnians and aims to explore how ethnically divided people rebuild and construct a common future.
