Dr.Lasha Matiashvilli

I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Europa-Universität Flensburg. My research lies at the intersection of phenomenology, social and political philosophy, and qualitative research.

In my current project Collective Anger, Political Solidarity, and Epistemic Silencing: A Phenomenological Qualitative Study of Georgian Protest Movements I explore how political oppression is affectively experienced and how collective anger can be transformed into political solidarity and contribute to countering different forms of silencing, including epistemic silencing. Drawing on phenomenological philosophy and qualitative empirical research, I examine contemporary protest movements in Georgia.
