About
In 2010 I have finished my dissertation at CEU about a 17th century Central European intellectual, diplomat, and Orientalist, Jakab Nagy de Harsány. Another PhD project of mine, about the foreign policy of Transylvania in mid-17th century, was defended at Eötvös Loránd University in January 2009, and has been published recently (in Hungarian). Currently I am a fellow of the Geisteswissenschaftliches Zentrum Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropa (Leipzig). For information about me and my project there (in German), please visit the Center's webiste: http://www.uni-leipzig.de/gwzo/index.php?option=com_content&view=artic
My main research interests are:
• Social and cultural history of early modern diplomacy
• Religion and politics in early modern Europe
• State and society in early modern Central Europe
• Tributary states of the Ottoman Empire
• The 'Image of the Other' in early modern Central and Southeastern Europe
Between 2002 and 2007, I taught several courses at Eötvös Loránd University as a guest lecturer in the following topics:
• Introduction to Historical Anthropology
• Dynasticism in Early Modern Transylvania
• Politics and Religion in Early Modern Hungary
• Travel in Early Modern Europe
• Women in Early Modern Europe
