Post-Doc – Department of Regional Studies

Ágnes Erőss graduated in History and Geography from the Eötvös Loránd University where she earned her PhD in Geography  in 2018. Her research interest includes the spatial representation of memory and the politics of commemoration, with special regard to the symbolic politics, space appropriation strategies and heritage management in ethnically-culturally diverse, contested urban settings in Central and Eastern Europe.

Besides, she is interested in the multiethnic borderlands in CEE in the context of transnational migration and kin-state politics. She has been exploring how those influence cross-border migratory processes, family and individual livelihood strategies and impact ethnic boundary making and self-identification. She analysis the gender aspect of transnational migration and the ‘left-behind’/immobile local communities in Transcarpathia, Western Ukraine.
