I’m a PhD graduate in political philosophy, who has lived, on and off, in Ukraine since 2019, and Uzhhorod since 2022.

Ukraine is a deeply fascinating, beautiful, sometimes confusing, and inspiring country, and I think I will never be able to say everything I want to about it, but it is worth trying. I will sometimes write about other things related to my personal or academic interests.

My primary specialisation is matters of freedom and justice, especially in relation to work and market economies. However, I ended up becoming more interested in Ukraine over time and how we can apply theoretical tools to issues in Ukraine. I also write about local experiences, travel, politics in Ukraine and the Eastern European region, disinformation, and probably more.
