During the Summer 2024, I was able to gain greater insight about my home country, Croatia, thanks to the Tanner Fellowship scholarship and guidance of Dr. Jayman Jaynatha. I wanted to explore how the people's relationship with land changed in the last five decades through content analysis of "Gospodarski List", a biweekly agricultural magazine that has been published since 1855. Through this content analysis, I noticed a contemporaneous shift from a socialist to a capitalist market economy, and the shift from understanding land as a part of family's identity and connection to the greater community to viewing it as a commodity, the profitability of which must be maximized. This project allowed me to further work on my research skills and familiarized me with archival research.
