He studied History and Italian language and literature at the University of Ljubljana, and holds an MA in History from CEU, Budapest. He co-authored a volume on modern radical ideologies (Utopije demokracije, 2005), and edited a volume on humanism in cotemporary socio-political thought (Blodnjaki smisla: misliti humanizem danes, 2007).
Between 2006 and 2007, he collaborated in the Interreg project Dopoguerra di confine/ Povojni čas ob meji dealing with political, national and ideological struggles on the Italian-Yugoslav border between 1945-1954. He has published articles on totalitarian ideologies, modern conservative and neo-republican political thought, identity disputes in the northern Adriatic region, and on the intellectual history of Iberian nationalisms in comparative perspective with Central Europe.
He is currently finishing a book on the re-invention of the national past in Slovenia in the 1980s.
