Just one week ago, our kick-off conference Memory and Populism from the Margins took place in Prague. I am still reflecting on all the presentations and conversations we had. If you'd like to see the program, you can take a look here: www.mempop.org/output/annou...

Excited to kick off the first day of our conference, Memory and Populism from the Margins!

Why do young adults join far-right movements? Agnieszka Pasieka delivered a great lecture on this topic on Friday at Oxford’s Anthropology seminar.

Thrilled to announce the release of Uprooted: How Post-WWII Population Transfers Remade Europe with Cambridge UP 🎉🎉
The book argues that accommodating the displaced population can strengthen states and benefit local economies in the long run.

Velvet Revolution in Opava, Czech Rep., November 1989
