School of Social and Political Science

Background

My primary research interests lie in social movements, political ideologies, and the impact new communication technologies have on political and civic participation. Building upon my previous research, I intend to further explore the potential role of communication technologies in developing Romanian civil society and the way in which this is embedded within global geopolitical patterns of social transformations.
