Hana Cervinkova (Ph.D. Anthropology, New School for Social Research) is Professor and Head of the Department of Anthropology at Maynooth University. Previously, she has held a number of academic and public sector leadership positions in Poland and the Czech Republic.
An educational and urban anthropologist, Cervinkova’s research focuses on nationalism, citizenship, memory and belonging as they emerge in the everyday life of Central/East European societies. The politics of memory and history figure prominently in her urban-based research, dedicated to exploring and making public the hidden and silenced memories of the formerly multicultural societies of Central Europe. The presentation draws on Cervinkova’s public sector work in restoring Centennial Hall, a 20th century modernist architectural masterpiece and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Wroclaw, Poland.
