Dr. Doan Dani is Head of Research at Konak Institute and a Researcher at the Institut d’études religieuses at Université de Montréal. He pursued his early studies in Shkodra and continued his academic formation at the Università degli Studi di Torino, where he completed his doctoral research.

His doctoral thesis, La sacralizzazione della politica nell'Albania comunista (1944–1991), a study of the sacralization of politics in communist Albania, was published in Italy in 2024 and subsequently translated into Albanian as Sakralizimi i politikës në Shqipërinë komuniste (1944–1991). His work examines the ideological, symbolic, and quasi-religious dimensions of political authority under Albanian state socialism.

Dr. Dani is also the author of Shpikja e Mesjetës (Manufacturing Medieval History), a critical study of Albanian historiography that analyzes the construction of medieval narratives in modern national discourse. His research engages questions of political theology, historical memory, historiography, and the relationship between ideology and scholarship.
