Originally from Yerevan, Amran is currently a PhD candidate enrolled at the University of Strasbourg and Sorbonne University in Paris. He studies the cultural, social, and political history of Eurasia, from the late 18th century to the present day. He focuses on understanding and remediating imperial legacies in today’s conflict zones, to foster coexistence among ethnic groups. Moreover, he is interested in minority and refugee rights, particularly when it comes to tangible and intangible heritage such as sites, languages, pieces of music, cuisines, and other points of ethnographic interest. Passionate about public speaking, he would love to make scientific research more widely accessible to the general public.
