Biography

Vesna Popovski is a Fellow in Conflict and Post-Conflict Studies at the European Institute of the London School of Economics. Her academic pursuits have primarily revolved around the social rights of citizens in urban settlements, with a significant focus on the historical context of socialist Yugoslavia and post-colonial state formation in Eastern Europe. Vesna has published extensively in various formats, including articles, monographs, and book sections, reflecting her diverse research interests, including nationalism, urban development, and transitional justice.

Currently, she is involved in a five-year European Research Council-funded project examining the interplay between justice and peacebuilding across different demographic groups. Vesna has also been instrumental in studying the dynamics of transitional justice in relation to female representation in Croatian legislative practices.
