Biography

I studied Yugoslav and Comparative Literature in Belgrade. My PhD dissertation was on meta-theatricality in 20th-century European drama – on how plays indirectly talk about themselves, other plays and theatre in general. I taught at the University of Belgrade, and have held visiting appointments at the University of Nottingham, Wesleyan University, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Graduiertenschule für Ost- und Südosteuropastudien of the University of Regensburg and Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munchen. I also have held research fellowships from the University of Ljubljana, the Open Society Institute, and the Leverhulme Foundation. In addition to being on the editorial boards of the Slavonic and East European Review, New Area Studies and Balkanica, and the advisory boards of Ricerche Slavistiche, Primerjalna književnost, Novi izraz and Dostoevsky Journal, I have been editor-in-chief of Brill’s book series Balkan Studies Library since 2009 (co-editor since 2018), and associate editor of East European Politics & Societies and Cultures. I am Member of Academia Europaea.
