Although most of my research is discussed and conducted throughout academic conferences, seminars, discussions, and short publications, each of my main research topics aim to ultimately result in monographs or booklets. Here is an overview of my main works so far.
A 'hopeful' language in a 'friendly place': actors and networks of Esperanto in Western Europe (ca. 1880s-1920s)
I started this project during my postdoc year, supported by the DAAD through my Leibniz postdoctoral research fellowship. The project explores networks of Esperanto speakers in the early 20th century in Europe and questions how Esperanto was used as a socio-cultural connector across national borders. This project grew into a larger team primarily based at the University of St Andrews.

De l'aventurier au Prince. Le Retour de Napoléon de l'île d'Elbe : le Vol de l'Aigle de Grenoble à Lyon (7-13 mars 1815)
Postgraduate dissertation, Sciences Po Lyon (2012). In French. On 1 March 1815, Napoleon landed near Cannes after spending the past year in exile on the island of Elba. This formidable period that will see him regain power in Paris before definitely losing at Waterloo, is known as 'the Hundred Days'. This work explores the leg of the journey between Grenoble and Lyon, which I argue is crucial to the fate of this entire three-month period. In only 7 days, Napoleon went from being a clear outsider and deluded adventurer, to becoming a legitimate leader again. Available in the Fondation Napoléon's digital library. |
