Portfolio
Resistance on Matejuska: Published in Polish (translation available upon request), Resistance on Matejuska looks at the use of public space for recreational activity, namely communal drinking, in the town of Split on Croatia's Adriatic Coast as well as the way this both resists new changes to the city while producing some of its own.
Back in the SFRY: Yugo-nostalgia and Dreams of Communism: This article approaches the social disintegration following the Balkan Wars of the 1990's with an eye on the rise of high degrees of nostalgia for the previous regime.
The Slow and Explicable Rise of Marine Le Pen: This analysis of the state of far-right politics in France utilises a historical angle to argue that, far from representing a new phase in French society, Marine Le Pen is part of a structural trajectory commonplace throughout the nation's post-war history. Secondarily, it advances a media critique arguing that proclamations of the 'unparalleled' nature of the moment risk developing into self fulfilling prophesies.
Why skills are more important than a degree
The article argues that skills are more important than educational degrees when seeking a job, as they make an individual fit for specific roles and challenges. It discusses the limitations of education as a measure of a person's suitability for a job and emphasizes the importance of skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and social skills. The article suggests that while degrees may help with entry-level positions, skills become more crucial for career advancement. It also notes that experience and skills gained from internships, military service, and side hustles can be more valuable than formal education later in life.
