I am a PhD researcher working within the CARECENTURY project, where I explore the history of care in Central Eastern Europe. My research focuses on socialist Hungarian childcare practices and examines how communist ideology shaped perceptions of appropriate child-rearing and motherhood. Previously, I was a lecturer in East European Studies at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in post-socialist culture, subcultures, and nostalgia.
