I hold a license diploma in Musicology from Transylvania University in Brasov, Romania. As my license paper represented the passage towards ethnology I decided to continue my studies in another domain. That is how I discovered the Master of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology at the Bucharest University.
I am interested in the nature and the effects of the totalitarian regimes, as the subject of my Master degree paper is about the repression and human rights infringement during the first communist decade in Romania.
My current research - as I am working on my PhD in Cultural Anthropology- University of Bucharest, is centered on the aspects regarding the social life in Romania during the communism, including repression, political demography, cultural mutations. I am also interested in political topics related with gender studies. My approach is based on interviews and archive research.
