Dr. Olga Burlyuk on Epistemic Imperialism and Europe's External Relations
In this episode of 'The Ivory Tower,' we speak to Dr. Olga Burlyuk, assistant professor of Europe's external relations at the University of Amsterdam.
We dive into one of Olga's recent publications on how the EU's internal rule of law crisis affects its legitimacy in the European neighborhood. We also discuss her widely-praised article on epistemic imperialism, and Olga tells us about how curiosity and intuition have shaped her academic career.
