About Vladislav Lilic
Vladislav Lilić is an Assistant Professor of Modern European History at Florida International University. He is a scholar of Eurasian empires whose research focuses on the social and legal histories of statecraft, diplomacy, and identity building in the nineteenth-century Balkans. He earned a Ph.D. in Modern European History at Vanderbilt University. His first book (in progress), "Empire of States: Law and International Order in Ottoman Europe, c. 1830-1912," traces how a wide array of elite and non-elite historical actors used the law to remake the regional imperial order. Lilić’s work in Austrian, Bulgarian, German, Montenegrin, North Macedonian, Serbian, and Turkish archives has been supported by research fellowships from the American Institute for Southeast European Studies, Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies, the Central European History Society, and the Social Science Research Council.NBN Episodes hosted by Vladislav:
