Chairs of Studies

Here at the Institute, we also focus on some key aspects of European relations globally. In this sense, the Institute’s Global Europe Studies Chairs serve as a further example of its commitment to European values, cultivating a space for students that are eager to have their voice heard to contribute to the realization of Greater Europe which is not restricted to the European politics on the Continent. Each of these Studies Teams is headed up by a chair, supported by editors, and there is selective recruitment for writers of these Chairs.

The Institute has recently established an EU-Americas Studies Department in recognition of the need to locate Europe’s role and responsibilities in the broader American region, not limited to simply the United States.

Ladan Kambi
EU-AM Editor

Ladan Kambi is currently pursuing an MSc in Diplomacy, Politics, and Trade. She also has an undergraduate degree in Politics and International Relations. Throughout the years, her interests in Sustainable Development and Developmental Politics have shaped her perspective and thus the experiences she has gained. She believes that awareness is key, having tried different avenues to achieve this: through writing content for various media outlets, as well as previously posting her blog content, so that she can personally ensure that individuals around her are well versed in political affairs, particularly issues that are not in the mainstream media. In addition to this, Ladan loves working on youth-led projects as she believes the next generation will tackle these many issues, so being at the forefront of this at the Institute of Greater Europe is an honour and a unique opportunity for her.

Olga Kwasnicka
EU-AM Editor
______________________________________

Olga graduated with an MA in Sustainable Heritage Management, having previously studied Human, Social and Political Sciences. During her Master’s she has been fascinated by developments in the heritage field (like efforts at decolonizing museums) that challenge accepted relationships to the past; moving away from a supposedly neutral historical stance, towards critical interrogation and social responsibility. Her particular interests lie in the intersection of cultural and natural heritage, and an integrated view that fosters a more sustainable engagement with our environment. Apart from reading and writing, Olga is quite crazy about bouldering and loves to meet new people.
