Speaker bio: Dr Milena Komarova is a post-doctoral researcher for LINLOSS (Disposals and Dead-ends in Lineages of Social Innovation and Change) - an ERC-funded Research Project led by Prof Jane Gray.
Milena holds a PhD in Sociology (2008) from Queen’s University Belfast (QUB). She has been a Research Fellow for The Conflict In Cities And The Contested State ESRC-funded multidisciplinary research project, at QUB (2007 – 2013); The Senator George J. Mitchell Institute For Global Peace, Security And Justice, QUB (2013 – 2016); The Centre For Cross-Border Studies, Armagh (2017 – 2019); and for The UK In A Changing Europe Initiative, QUB (2019 – 2022). Most recently, Milena was a Lecturer in Human Geography at QUB (2022 – 2024).
Dr Komarova's work spans the fields of conflict, urban and border studies, exploring the intersections between everyday life, urban space, and conflict transformation in ethno-nationally divided cities. She has further studied the impact of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU on (re)bordering the island of Ireland. This work integrates and reflects Milena’s expertise in qualitative and ethnographic methodology, including in the use of mobile and visual methods.
Milena has taught extensively at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Sociology and Geography, including for MA Programmes in Social Justice and Conflict Transformation, and in Geopolitics.
