PROJECT RESEARCHER

Starting in November 2023, I assumed the role of a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within the Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana. In the context of the DEAGENCY project, I am examining the effect of the shift in religious landscape on individuals’ relation to the dead. My focus centers on individuals situated in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

My research interest includes the transformation of cultural landscapes, ecological anthropology, migration studies, local identities, and the transformation of rural communities. I conducted a long-term fieldwork study in Natisone Valleys, a pre-alpine area of North-Eastern Italy. This fieldwork served as the foundation for my doctoral research, which culminated in the successful completion of my PhD thesis.
