Occasionally, I also write for general-audience publications, give talks, or am interviewed by the media. I mainly focus on the region of the world I know best, namely post-communist Europe, and/or the thematic topics listed under my research interests. If you’d like me to consider a writing project, speaking engagement, or interview request, please contact me.
