Editing

For a long time being, words has always been a part of my professional journey. Since my first blog back in 2010 until the last one, I kept writing.

Recently, I joined Arcadia, a non-profit organization promoting art and science through academics articles.

Populism has been one of the most prominent themes in political discourse worldwide over the past two decades. Various political events, such as Donald Trump's rise to the U.S. Presidency in 2016 or Brexit, have been portrayed against the backdrop of populism's rise. Consequently, in day-to-day politics, populism is often used pejoratively to discredit and exclude political opponents as anti-democratic and polarizing. Similarly, parts of the academic community are highly critical of populism, de...
