Dr Daniel Brett is a Lecturer (Teaching) at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London (UCL). He holds a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of London (2013), an MA in Central and South-East European Studies from UCL (2001), and a BA in Politics from the University of the West of England (1999). His research focuses on political science, sociology, historical studies, and nutrition/dietetics, with a regional emphasis on Eastern Europe. He has held academic positions at institutions including St Mary’s University College, UCL School of Public Policy, Indiana University, and the Open University.
His research interests include rural politics, agrarian movements, post-communist transitions, corruption dynamics, and the intersection of diet with public health in Eastern Europe. Notable work addresses Romania’s political protests, Moldova’s oligarchic politics, and the historical evolution of agrarianism in Eastern Europe.
His most recent publications analyze the relationship between traditional Eastern European diets and mortality rates (2019–2021), rural political mobilization in interwar Europe (2018), and the political crises in Romania and Moldova tied to corruption and anti-corruption measures (2015–2017). These studies reflect a blend of historical, sociological, and public health methodologies.
While no scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, his work has contributed significantly to understanding Eastern Europe’s complex political landscapes and public health dynamics. He has advised on policy-related projects and has engaged in collaborative research with international institutions. His research often bridges historical analysis with contemporary political challenges, particularly in post-Soviet states.
