About Me

I earned a BA (2008) and MA degree (2011) in History and Croatian Language and Literature from the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, and an MA degree in Central European History from the Central European University in Budapest (2012) with the thesis Why Do We Need the Comparison with the San Remo Festival? The Birth of Yugoslav Zabavna Music under the Italian Influence. Since 2013/14 I am a PhD researcher at the European University Institute in Florence working on the dissertation Mediterranization of Yugoslav Cultural Sphere in the 1950s and 1960s under Italian Influences. I am a volunteer assistant at the Centre for Cultural and Historical Research of Socialism at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, where in the period 2014-2017 I worked on the project Making of the Socialist Man. Croatian Society and the Ideology of Yugoslav Socialism. I am interested in cultural and social history of the 20th century with a focus on popular culture and football within socialism.
