- Archaeology of Eurasia
- Material Culture of Medieval and Modern Hungary
- Urban History of Central Europe
The field of central and eastern European history is an interdisciplinary engagement with various layers of the political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental past of the lands between the Baltic Sea and the Balkan Peninsula. Far from essentializing the region, it treats it more as a space of multidirectional exchange and transfer and also as a container of other often overlapping meso-regional frames (Balkans, Visegrad countries, Mitteleuropa, etc). Given the multliplicity of cultural and linguistic traditions in the region, such an engagement is by default comparative and transnational, and also offers many possibilities to rethink global hierarchies, the relationship of centers and (semi-)peripheries, and the ambiguities of modernity.
