New Visiting Fellow at IMS – Natalia Dziadyk

The Institute of International Studies, FSV UK, is pleased to welcome Natalia Dziadyk as a Visiting Fellow within the joint fellowship between the Research Centre Ukraine in a Changing Europe and the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM) in Vienna.

Natalia is a PhD candidate in Public Policy at Central European University (CEU) and holds an MA in World Politics and International Relations from the University of Pavia. Her doctoral research explores how Ukrainian citizens displaced by Russia’s full-scale invasion of 2022 engaged in political activism in Prague, reshaping local politics and solidarity relations. She has published in leading journals on citizenship, the political subjectivities of displaced people, migration politics, and the far right. Natalia served as Chair of CEU’s Migration Research Group, regularly consults for the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, and was a visiting researcher at the CEU Democracy Institute in Budapest.

In the winter semester 2025/26, she will teach the course JTM 749 (Re)Mapping Migration Studies: Insights from Central and Eastern Europe, which places CEE at the heart of migration studies and revisits key concepts such as labour migration, temporariness, refugeehood, and displacement against the backdrop of contemporary geopolitics.
