Testimonials

We have just received the good news that the book had been sent to press. As always, I count on your participation in the projects ahead.  


Janos, professor of history of economics at University of Vienna

I keep receiving notes of appreciation from the authors who are very grateful for the constructive academic peer review and the professional copyediting, layout editing and proofreading of the journal. Your individual committed work and our team efforts did make a positive contribution to critical Romani studies and the empowerment of emerging scholars.


Angela, editor-in-chief of Critcal Romani Studies

It has been a good experience working with you, directly on the Serbian disability publication and indirectly as you collaborated with my colleagues. I heard only positive things about your work, and we will surely keep you on our list of editors.


Vera, communications officer at ILO
