Her main research interest covers the representations and interpretations of places and spaces in different historical periods, political regimes, and in culturally and geographically diverse settings. Especially interested in borderland areas and the dynamics of boundary making and identification procedures.
Her research interests cover the spatial representation of national and ethnic symbols, memory and politics of commemoration, with special regard to the symbolic politics and space appropriation strategies in contested (urban) settings and geopolitical conflict zones.
Her post-doctoral research tackles the politics of tangible and intangible heritage and its (non)representation in urban and tourism development in culturally diverse urban settings.
She has been studying migration processes in Central Eastern Europe, focusing on the effect of kin-state politics on migratory processes, family and individual strategies and local communities.
