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.
In the CareOrg project, I work as a research assistant. Simultaneously, I am aspiring to be a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Charles University, Prague. I'm profiling in anthropology since my undergraduate studies, when I first conducted a field research in the south of Slovakia. My research interest was in the social networks of seniors with slovakian and hungarian ethnic background within a particular village. During my graduate studies, for my research I traveled to the capital of Serbia, Belgrade. Within this research, I had the opportunity as a half-Czech and half-Serbian researcher to deepen my interest in methodological issues related to the position of halfie anthropologist, as well as questions of research ethics. For my thesis Ecology of Walls: The Ethnography of Belgrade Murals, I received the CASA (Czech Association for Social Anthropology) award for the best anthropological master thesis for the year 2023. Within CareOrg, I am, in a way, returning to my earlier interest in the issues of seniors as well as migration.
