Welcome

Welcome to my blog!

A researcher and writer at the crossroads, I love to run the extra mile to uncover the political stories of our pasts and futures.

I’ve created this blog as a platform for crossing genres and languages. It is a space to share the bits and pieces of research that often find no way out; the bits and pieces that lead to the bigger story, whether mine, or yours.

The blog is part of my research project titled “Mobilising Affects: Withdrawal of Citizenship and Politics of Security” that has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 839538. The project takes place at the School of Politics and International Relation, Queen Mary University of London.

In a nutshell, my research project focuses on the mobilization of affects in politics of security and the withdrawal of citizenship. I draw on historical cases as the basis for evaluating possible consequences of intensified withdrawal practices for regimes of citizenship today. I combine archival research with working affect across the social sciences and art practices.
