Natasa Milosevic

Natasa Milosevic serves as an Assistant at the Department of Social Work, Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad since 2023, while completing her doctoral studies at the University of Belgrade. Her academic trajectory spans social policy, social work practice, and migration governance within Southeast European contexts.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Diploma in Social Policy and Social Work from University of Belgrade (thesis: "Prevention of Youth Alcoholism")
• Systemic Family Therapy certification from Belgrade's Institute of Mental Health
• Master's in Social Policy from University of Belgrade (thesis: "Mapping Social Welfare Services in Belgrade")
• Ongoing PhD in Political Science - Social Policy at University of Belgrade (dissertation: "Policy of Integration of Refugees in Greece, 2015-2022")

Research focuses on international social policy frameworks, anti-oppressive social work methodologies, and migration dynamics, with particular emphasis on refugee integration, social exclusion mechanisms, and crisis response systems. Her scholarship critically examines power structures in welfare institutions while analyzing comparative social models across the Balkans and EU.

Recent publications (2019-2024) reveal evolving research trajectories: early work centered on Serbian migration policy and social exclusion, shifting toward humanitarian crises (Ukraine war, Israeli-Palestinian conflict) and vulnerable populations (Roma communities, mental health patients). Methodologically, she employs discourse analysis, policy evaluation, and comparative frameworks with strong emphasis on anti-oppressive praxis and EU governance structures.

No scientific awards were documented in the source material.

As a Horizon 2020 MIGREC project researcher, she examines migration governance while teaching core social work courses including Supervision and Evaluation, Group Work, and Leadership. Her practical experience at Belgrade's City Center for Social Work (2008-2023) informs her applied research on domestic violence prevention and elderly services.

Current work centers on EU humanitarian response systems through the MIGREC consortium, connecting her doctoral research on Greek refugee integration with contemporary crisis management frameworks.
