I studied Yugoslav and Comparative Literature in Belgrade. My PhD dissertation (University of Belgrade, 1994) was on meta-theatricality in 20th-century European drama - on how plays indirectly talk about themselves, other plays and theatre in general. Before coming to London I taught at the University of Belgrade (1989-1998, 2000-2003), and was a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Nottingham (1997), Wesleyan University (1999), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1999-2000), and have held research fellowships from the University of Ljubljana (1990-91), the Open Society Institute (1998-2000), and the Leverhulme Foundation (2008). In addition to being on the editorial board of the Slavonic and East European Review, I am also a member of the advisory boards of Ricerche Slavistiche and Dostoevsky Journal, and the editor-in-chief of Brill's book series Balkan Studies Library.

Research Interests
My publications are mostly on South Slav literature, twentieth-century European drama and drama theory, and the theory of comparative literature, and include Getting Over Europe. The Construction of Europe in Serbian Culture (2011), What is the 'West'? Nationalism, Cosmopolitanism, and the 'West' in Early 20th-Century Serbian Culture (2010), Susret na trećem mestu (2006), Metateatralnost. Imanentna poetika u drami dvadesetog veka (1994), Negativna i pozitivna poetika (1992), and one edited volume: Opšta književnost. Izabrana tumačenja (1999).

Teaching and supervision
I teach BA courses in Serbian and Croatian literature, and contribute to a series of team-taught BA and MA courses with sessions on South Slav literature and culture. MA students can take my courses Cultural and Historical Studies, and How to Read/Interpret Texts: Introduction to Hermeneutics.

I have supervised several PhD dissertations on topics related to Balkan literature and culture. Potential MPhil/PhD students are welcome to get in touch with inquiries about their topics. Since UCL regulations allow students to write their dissertations in the language of study, I can also supervise dissertations written in Serbo-Croat, Slovene and Macedonian.
