My research lies at the intersection of political science and social history. I am interested in topographies of violence, how ideas and ideologies travel, and how people, their choices and needs intersect in times of duress.
I teach at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University.
My main focus is on the Holocaust and its aftermath, but I have also explored political religions, and emotions in belonging. My works have appeared in journals including Nations & Nationalism, Contemporary European History, and Holocaust Studies: Journal of Culture and History. I have recently co-edited a special section of East European Politics & Societies on Biographies of the Holocaust (with Natalia Aleksiun).
I have served as either a principal researcher or team member in projects financed by all major national and European grant schemes. Since completing my doctoral studies, and as the lead investigator, I have been successful in securing approximately 1.48 million EUR in research funding.
