The WORK-AGE-JUST project served as a pilot study that opened up important questions about workplace justice and social solidarities in 20th-century Austria and Czechoslovakia. What began as a focused investigation has revealed the potential for a much broader and deeper exploration.

Building on this foundation, I have now submitted a proposal for an ERC project. This next phase seeks to expand the research geographically, bring in new case studies, and connect local insights to wider European and global debates. While the funding decision is ahead, the pilot study has already shown me just how much remains to be discovered!
