In my dissertation project, I focus on the historical experiences of women working in the textile industry in the Krkonoše Mountains and the Podkrkonoší region between 1950 and 1990, concentrating on their subjective experiences in the context of the transformation of the industrial landscape and broader historical processes.

Research areas:

cultural history; contemporary history; historical anthropology; theory and methodology of oral history (with an emphasis on feminist oral history); women's history; gender history; history of everyday life; Krkonoše Mountains, deindustrialization
