This is my academic blog and it is for all of us who didn’t get to go to Hogwarts this year. You might not learn about magic, spells and potions but we can reflect together on current political and social issues in our daily Muggle life.

Warning: I am going to write a lot about the country of birth of our beloved Harry Potter – England (partially because I live here and partially because my PhD thesis is focused on the British society and politics). I will also write about immigration, ethnic minorities in Britain, international relations and other issues of academic interest. If you’re lucky you might get the occasional post about a little country close to my heart called Romania.

I hope you find it helpful and please do not hesitate to comment, critique, ask questions or give suggestions. Let’s learn together in this cruel Dobby-less world. That’s it from me, enough Harry Potter references!
