ERC Starting Grant for GCHH Researcher

Yuliya Hilevych

The Centre is proud to announce one of its members was awarded an ERC Starting Grant. Yuliya Hilevych received this grant for her project titled 'Coping with decline: Comparative social-historical analysis of depopulation and community welfare in Europe, 1950-2022  (DEPOP)'. Together with her team, she will produce a first social history of depopulation in Europe. DEPOP will illuminate regional depopulation as a potent example of a slow burn crisis – occurring over extended periods of time. Our historical findings will help to better understand how and why some communities have been more resilient to the slow burn crisis of depopulation.
