Thesis Title: Politics of Impasse: Historical Imagination and the Struggle for the Future in Postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina

About

I am a doctoral candidate in social and cultural anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley, where I am specializing in political anthropology and postsocialist studies. At the present, I am working on my doctoral dissertation entitled  "Future as a predicament: political action and specters of Yugoslav socialism in postwar Bosnia-Herzegovina."  In this work, I seek to reframe and reimagine citizen activism and everyday politics in Bosnia as an arena of ethical thought and action,  shaped by experiences and expectations emerging at the intersection of lived histories of Yugoslav socialism and the contradictions and enclosures of post-war ethnic democracy. The thesis is based on over two years of fieldwork in the cities of Sarajevo, Jajce and Banja Luka.
