After 6 years of holding the “adjunct” title, it’s time to officially leave it behind. I’m thrilled to share that, as of Dec 1st, I’ve joined the University of Rijeka’s Center for Peace & Conflict Studies as an Associate Professor—specializing in public policy, political sociology, & youth studies!
