Ideas on Europe | Critical European Studies: What, Why and How?

UACES Podcasts | Ideas & Experts on Europe

What are "critical" European studies? Who needs them and why? How does a researcher of contemporary Europe or the European Union (EU) take, or fail to take, a critical approach? In this episode of Ideas on Europe, five PhD and early-career researchers discuss their work and interests in critical approaches to European Studies.
