Research projects:
State representation in Eastern Europe between imperial and national rule
Starting with the first World's Fair in London (1851) and continuing through Paris (1867, 1889, 1900), Vienna (1873), and Chicago (1893) to the World's Fairs of the interwar period in Barcelona (1929) and Paris (1937), this project analyzes how world exhibitions influenced the development and representation of statehood and how political change between imperial and national order affected the forms of representation of statehood.
