Visiting Fellowship in September2024
Motivation:
During my one-month fellowship, I plan on conducting research in the Ljubljana Historical Archives and the National and University Library. I also hope to learn more about the Digital Humanities research program and explore some of the tools that I could apply to my own research and projects (such as different ways of mapping and visualizing conflict). I also look forward to meeting the Institute’s experts and developing a base for our future cooperation and knowledge exchange.
