Research

Hana’s research is situated at the intersection of war, peace, and the environment. Using a case study of demining in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), she employs ethnographic and participatory methods to explore the transformative sociopolitical and environmental challenges of post-war landscapes, guided by theories of new materialism and critical geopolitics. Her work connects the fields of political ecology, international relations, and science and technology studies through questions of meaning, power, and temporality.
