Dr Armanda Hysa is an ethnologist whose work focuses on Albania and other SEE countries. She is the Alexander Nash Fellow at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London.
Dr Hysa researched 13 cases (out of an esteemed 350) of unlikely couples: Serbian husbands and Albanian wives living in the largely rural Sandžak region, in Southern Serbia. “When the existence of a traditional family faces the danger of extinction, the rigid borders of nationalist ideology are easily overcome. It is everyday life’s triumph over the seemingly untouchable barriers of political ideology”, she comments for the LSEE Blog.
