Departmental Affiliation: 
International Relations

Passionate about my love for Bosnia and Herzegovina and working towards a PhD to showcase how there's far more to the country than the conflict.

My work looks at how tour guides in BiH can shape and contest international perceptions of the country and the conflict, taking a microlevel approach to International Relations.

I have interests in postcolonial and feminist IR theory, memory studies, interpretive research methodologies (particularly ethnography and narrative IR) and (dark) tourism studies.
