| Research topic: | The Balneosanatorium. A political ecology of health in socialist Bulgaria |
| "The Balneosanatorium. Political ecology of health in socialist Bulgaria proposes a modern history of thermal waters. It traces the taming of Bulgaria’s hydrothermal resources and how they flowed into bodies, infrastructures and political discourses. This dissertation project offers a detailed account of the environmental and political history of a natural resource while examining how it propelled the productive force of a country." |
