Research
My research examines Europe as a globally entangled and internally uneven space. It brings together comparative literature, intellectual history, memory studies, the history of knowledge and contemporary research-policy debates.
My current work is organised around three connected areas: Europe and Its Global Entanglements, Socialist Postcolonialism and Alternative Globalities, and Knowledge Geopolitics and the University. Together, they explore how Europe has been shaped by empire, decolonisation, migration, socialist internationalism, internal asymmetries and the unequal circulation of knowledge.
The pages below present these current research programmes alongside specific projects and earlier areas that remain important to my intellectual trajectory. They include selected books, articles, public contributions and talks, offering a thematic map of my work rather than a complete bibliographical record.
