Dr. Kartaloff Kiril Plamen, associate professor at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and research associate at the Catholic University of Milan (Università Cattolica)
Kiril Kartaloff is an associate professor at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and a research associate at the Catholic University of Milan (Università Cattolica) where he teaches “Cultural Diplomacy: Comparative Approaches, Actors and Genres.” His research interests lie in the area of the history of international relations and diplomacy, particularly contemporary papal diplomacy (from the 20th century to the 21st century). One focus of his work, starting from an interdisciplinary perspective capable of integrating diplomatic, religious, cultural, philosophical and social observations, is to reconstruct in a fair, objective, scientific and historical manner the Holy See’s diplomatic-humanitarian action in the defense of the Jews during World War II. By considering multidisciplinary approaches he is particularly interested in pilgrimage studies.
