Composition of the Scientific Council changes
The Scientific Council welcomes Diana Mishkova as new member. Alan Sked has left the council.
Diana Mishkova is head of the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) in Sofia and professor of history at the Department of Southeast-European History at Sofia University. She has held various scientific positions at universities in Europe and the USA and participated in and/or directed numerous transnational and comparative research projects. Among her major fields of interest are the modern and contemporary history of Southeastern Europe, nationalism, modernization, and comparative (historical) research methodology.
Alan Sked, from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), felt that his research and intellectual interests did not coincide with the mainpart of the SC.
