I am an intellectual historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century East Central Europe, focusing spatially on the Habsburg Empire and its successor states. While the core of my work centers on the history of political thought, I also conduct research in the adjacent fields of conceptual history, the history of philosophy, the history of historiography, and the philosophy and theory of history.

I completed my PhD in Comparative History at Central European University in Vienna, Austria (previously in Budapest, Hungary), under the supervision of Balázs Trencsényi. My dissertation, entitled “Between Freedom and Constraint: Republicanism and the Left in Hungary and Yugoslavia, 1918–1948,” can be found here.

The CEU Democracy Institute in Budapest is my current institutional home, where I work as a Research Affiliate in the Democracy in History Work Group. As part of our activities, I run a postdoctoral project called “Clio in a Phrygian Cap: Historicist Epistemology and Democratic Political Thought in Twentieth-Century East Central Europe.”
