The Balkan Society in Turmoil:
Emotions and the History of Business
Hello all,
Thank you for your great responses this month. We have had a fascinating and productive conversation about the impact that the affective turn has had on the study of nationalism, and it is clear that there is great work being done in this field. Special thanks must go to our interviewee for this month, Reetta Eiranen.
