Marko Milošev; Visiting Fellowship 2022/23

Biography:

I am currently enrolled as a PhD candidate at the Department of History at the Central European University in Vienna. My main focus is the study of radicalization of rightwing and fascist groups in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. I am interested to see what the dynamics were of engaging in political violence on the radical right spectrum, as well as the causes of their deradicalization. My second hat concerns digital humanities, as I am interested in the potentials for natural language analysis in the study of history. My two current interests focus on the issues of authorship detection by using stylometric methods, and on the links between ideology and actions by using sentiment analysis methods.

Visiting Fellowship August-September 2023

Motivation:

INZ seemed like an obvious choice when I was applying for a fellowship position due to the fact that Slovenia has a rather developed academic network regarding digital humanities and computational research methods. During my previous work I came to rely on several digital tools, like the CLASSLA library, so it was only natural that I would come and expand my knowledge in this growing field. In that regard, I hope that I will gain some valuable insights and experience in the field of digital humanities while working with Dr Andrej Pančur and Dr Nikola Ljubešić.
