Ivan Rajković
Ivan finished his PhD in social anthropology at the University of Manchester in 2015. After that, he was a Mellon Fellow at SSEES, University College London between 2015 and 2017, and a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology between 2017 and 2019. Ivan’s first research dealt with the transformations of labour, welfare and patronage relations in the aftermath of a Yugoslav car plant ‘Zastava’. In 2019, he started a new postdoctoral project at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of the University of Vienna, focusing on water grabbing, eco-populism and intergenerational relations in the Balkan Mountains.
