Ana Fumurescu

  • Graduate Student Fellow, Fall 2021

Before starting at the University of Pittsburgh, I earned my BA in History, International Studies, and French at Indiana University (2013), after which I went on to complete an MA in European Studies (2015) at the same institution. Currently, I am writing my dissertation, "National in Difference: Primary Schooling, Citizenship, and Belonging in Romanian-Administered Dobruja, 1878-1920)" in which I use primary education as a lens through which to explore the relationship between the Romanian state and ethno-confessional groups in Dobruja, an incredibly diverse region long caught at the crossroads of imperial and national rivalries.
