Welcome to European political symbols!
-
Interested in Europe, the European Union, politics, symbols, culture and identity? Me too! This is where I will write my mind out about these topics, while I am engaged in my research project as postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Modern European Studies, University of Copenhagen.
While I will be tempted to include musings on a variety of subjets, the focus of this blog will be on the visual communication of the EU, which is the main research interest in my project.
If you want to find out more about me, check out Anamaria's brief presentation page. If you want to learn more about the project itself, look at the Main project: Eurosymbols page. Ever so slowly I intend to build a gallery of pictures of eurosymbols - with YOUR help. Want to contribute? Give me a buzz: ads@hum.ku.dk!

Riding the wave of popular discontent, this may be the key for electoral success in the autumn of this year, but chances are it will not take Romania closer to the European Union.
