László Bence Bari

I was born on 23 November 1991 in Hungary. As for my studies in high school, I attended the ELTE Apáczai Csere János Practice School. I completed both my BA and first MA studies at the Eötvös Loránd University, where I specialised on the History of Relationship Between the Countries and The Societies of the Visegrád Group (A visegrádi együttműködés országainak és társadalmainak kapcsolattörténete). I got accepted to the Central European University’s program ‘Master of Arts in Comparative History’ in 2015, and subsequently to its program ‘PhD in Comparative History’ in 2016. I co-operate with the team of the NTAutonomy Project as a guest researcher through the OeAD-Stipendium from February to August 2019. My current research deals with the discourses within the Austrian Reichsrat concerning ’nation’, ’self-determination’, ’self-government’ and ’autonomy’ during the years of 1917–1918. This is done in connection to my doctoral dissertation that deals with the conceptual analysis of the self-determination discourse concerning the future of Central Europe in the First World War. In general, my main fields of interests cover the modern history of national movements in the region.
