- Short Bio
I am interested in the critical epistemologies of the hegemonic geo-temporal ‘knowledge’ in queer studies. The concept of the ‘cultural translation’, the possibility of using the decolonial and post-colonial theories in the study of ‘post-communist Europe’ is also important to me. Another leg of my research concerns the transnational sexual politics, nationhood and non-normative identities as interlocked with discourses of geography and temporality, ‘West and the Rest’, and EUropeanization.
