My research focuses on gender in migration, transnational care practices, the globalization of senior care, ageing in migration, and applied anthropology. I am a social anthropologist, and I am currently working as an assistant professor at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Faculty of Humanities, Charles University in Prague. I held a fellowship at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (2000-2001), the Sasakawa Fellowship at Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main (2007), the Erste Fellowship for Social Scientists (2010-2011), and the ACES Fellowship at the University of Amsterdam and the fellowship for international co-teaching awarded by the University of Padua (2023). My recent work was published in “Intimacy and mobility in an era of hardening borders (Gender, reproduction, regulation)”, by Manchester University Press and in the Global Dialogue Magazine.

I am a master’s student in Anthropological Studies at Charles University in Prague, originally from Slovakia. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Ethnology at Comenius University in Bratislava, where I developed a strong interest in medical anthropology and traditional healing. Within the CareOrg project, I study the transnational lives of Slovak live-in care workers in the Netherlands. My research focuses on their working conditions in a live-in care and everyday experiences, and on how these are shaped by the wider senior care infrastructures and transnational care chains linking Slovakia and the Netherlands. This project also forms the basis of my master’s thesis, which I am writing under the supervision of Mgr. Petra Ezzeddine, Ph.D.
