Vita Zelenska has successfully defended her doctoral thesis, becoming the first of the 2020 Leibniz ScienceCampus cohort to defend. Her research takes an experimental approach to ethnographic methodology, incorporating multiple writing styles. The work examines knowledge production on and by displaced migrants in Greece, drawing on fieldwork conducted across Greece, the USA, and Mexico.
The study emphasizes the importance of sound and listening for understanding migration, displacement, and activism. Her supervisors were Ger Duijzings (Universität Regensburg and Seeffield) and Anna Carastathis (Feminist Autonomous Centre for Research in Athens). She participated in the Graduate School structured PhD programme and received funding from the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) through the ScienceCampus and the Leibniz Association.
Congratulations, Vita!
