Nemanja Jovanović

Bio

A MA historian, graduated from Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade. His main field of specialization is 20th-century history, with a special focus on China, as both his BA and MA were centered around events of the Maoist era. However, his interest lay beyond both this region and this era, as he has delved into various civilizations, periods and areas throughout human past. In the past several years he has worked as a freelance writer in the field of history, while also working on his Ph.D. concerning diplomatic relations of China and Yugoslavia.
