Greetings or Servus! My name is Ildar Daminov.
I am a Tatar Kazakhstani social scientist, researcher, and creative writer based in Vienna. Currently, I’m pursuing a Ph.D. in Comparative International Political Economy at Central European University. In my free time, I work on two novels and a short story in English, engage in community service, and do podcasting.
My professional background lies at the intersection of international relations, political economy, and comparative social sciences broadly. I hold MA degrees in International Studies from the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna and Political Science from Central European University.
You are welcome to browse both the academic and creative outputs of my work on this website.
