My research focuses on how the peoples of Yugoslavia, over the span of 90 years, have lived under various regimes with fundamentally different political and socio-economic structures, and how they adapted to, changed, and resisted these regimes. My published archival research, conducted in Yugoslavia and its successor states, has examined the ways in which the twentieth century regimes in Yugoslavia, their political elites, structures, institutions, and ideologies, as well as their state and nation building processes and strategies, have interacted and impacted the society over which they ruled. I also examine how different groups within society--peasants, women, soldiers, and ethnic groups--reacted to political processes, informed state and nation building strategies, and influenced and shaped policies, identities, and ideologies.
