aboutMy name is Ana Milosevic but the academic community knows me as 'the Monument Hunter.' From a nuclear blast zone to black magic rites’ sites, I visit unusual - and often macabre – places to study how individuals and societies mourn and commemorate. Currently, I am a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) at the KU Leuven Faculty of Law. My current research takes a bird's eye view on a wide variety of roles assigned to memorialisation processes. It zooms in on the post-terrorist memorialisation in Europe to critically examine its effectiveness for the victims, their families and survivors. @europeannees
