WHO WE ARE
About us
Geo-philosophy of the Balkans - GEOBALKANS - is an ERASMUS Strategic Partnership initiated in 2020, including diverse researchers and institutions from North Macedonia, Greece, Serbia, and Italy, with the aim to develop inter-disciplinary and critical study programs in Balkans Studies. Based on the main premises of critical thinking, regional cooperation and reconciliation, GEOBALKANS stands for bringing into dialogue not only diverse research disciplines but also cultural, political and social practices that elaborate the hegemonic and counter-hegemonic phenomena that affect the Balkans region. By introducing the Balkans region as laboratory of modernity (I. Chambers), GEOBALKANS deals with critical analysis of the ongoing political challenges, and tries to compose emancipatory exits towards more just worlds.
WHAT WE AIM TO DO
Study programs
Key result of the project is the establishment of the joint, integrated graduate programme - MA and PhD - in Transdisciplinary Balkan Studies: Geophilosophy of the Balkans.
