Speaker

Dr Nada Zečević is an EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow in History at Royal Holloway University of London. Her current research project A Comparative Diachronic Analysis of Post-Byzantine Networks in the Early-modern Europe (15th-18th c.), financed by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action, aims at reflecting upon the wider place of emigration and immigration in the common European heritage by analysing the networks established by post-Byzantine emigres in early modern Europe’s West. The wider scope of her research is the history of the Balkan peninsula in the Middle Ages and its connections with other parts of the medieval world.
