RESEARCH PROFILE

My research currently focuses on two topics which are linked by an interest in the ways in which individuals and societies/different social groups have coped and are coping with historical events of the 20th century, which are often connected with crises. I not only explore individual and collective memory, the culture of remembrance and the politics of memory, but I also explore, for example, issues related to the intergenerational transmission of memory. The first topic includes research on the German minority in the Czech lands, Czech-German coexistence, as well as migration processes after World War II, i.e. the forced displacement of the German population from Czechoslovakia. The second topic is the research on state borders, their formation and dissolution, and the area of the borderlands, the ways in which borders are perceived, experienced, and narrated, currently especially in the example of the Czech-Slovak and Slovak-Ukrainian borders.

My research on the topics mentioned above will be further deepened in the HERA Chance project “Times in Crisis, Times of Crisis”, where I will focus on times of crisis in Eastern Europe in the context of the military conflict in Ukraine.
