Stefan Stankovic

Stefan Stankovic teaches History of American Civilization at Maritime College. He is also researching the history of the interplay of international relations and violence at the periphery of empires. His focus is on the period of the Eastern Crisis in the Danube/Black Sea Region, and on contemporary justice narratives taking place at global events, in the form of public history.  

Stefan’s multicultural background, his study in the UK (University of London, BD) and US (New School, MS, and Rutgers, PhD cand.), teaching experience within diverse international settings including NY, NJ, and Europe, shapes his approach to teaching and scholarship. This includes a forthcoming SUNY COIL Global Commons collaboration.
