Current Project
I have been sitting on the board of the Journal of Liberal History since July 2020. Besides, my research currently branches into two directions:
1/ the foreign-language press as a media phenomenon, where I develop a specific interest in the late 19th-century foreign-language political press, especially the Armenian-language press in London
2/ Connections between the Eastern Question and the emergence of early British Liberal internationalism
