Transformative Podcast   /     Studying Land in Southeast Europe (Katarina Kušić)

Description

How is land central to socialist and postsocialist transformations in Southeast Europe? In this episode, Katarina Kušić (University of Vienna) tells Jelena Đureinović (RECET) about land as more than an object of policy, the perspectives on studying it and the importance of rural areas and marginalised actors. Dr. Katarina Kušić is a Marie-Skłodowska Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellow at the Research Platform “Transformations and Eastern Europe” at the University of Vienna. Her current project investigates the relations that make and remake the meaning of land in political, social, ecological, and economic transformations, looking at policymaking, everyday experiences and alternative political imaginaries in Southeast Europe. The project is funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship. Her book “Beyond International Intervention: Politics of Improvement in Serbia” is coming out with the University of Michigan Press in early 2025.
