    Biography

    Professor Hana Cervinkova (B.A., Temple University, Philadelphia, M.A., Ph.D., Anthropology, New School for Social Research in New York, 2004) is a political and educational anthropologist with a geographic focus on East and Central Europe. In her early publications, she built on her ethnographic research in the Czech military focusing on the cultural and political paradoxes of post-socialist transformation in the liminal period of intensive post-Cold War civil-military restructuring.  Her recent work highlights issues of nationalism, racism and memory as they emerge in the everyday educational and political discourses and practices in Poland and the Czech Republic. She is also involved in collaborative research analysing changes in higher education in Central Europe and Ireland. The politics of memory and history figure prominently in her urban-based research, much of which she has dedicated to exploring and making public the silenced heritage of the formerly multicultural societies of Central Europe. Cervinkova also published on anthropology of post-socialism and post-colonialism and participatory and action research methodologies. 

    Cervinkova's research work is interwoven with her pedagogical practice. She designs her classes to foster critical thinking and active learning through the nurturing of anthropological imagination, which encourages seeing people and issues in cross-cultural dimensions. She developed and led a number of international grants and initiatives, including a Horizon 2020-funded European doctoral training scheme (EDiTE – European Doctorate in Teacher Education, 2016-2020). She is a recipient of several teaching awards, including the 2016 Award for Excellence in Education Abroad Curriculum Design and the Maynooth University Teaching Award 2022-23. 


    Prior to moving to Maynooth, Cervinkova worked in Central Europe holding a number of leadership positions in academia and in the public sector. She was the Rector of the University of Lower Silesia (Wroclaw, Poland) and a member of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Prague, Czech Republic).  At the European Association of Social Anthropologists (EASA), she served as an elected member of the Executive Committee (2013 – 2016) and the Association’s Vice-President (2015-2016). In the public sphere, as the President of Centennial Hall in Wroclaw, a UNESCO World Heritage site, she developed and implemented major preservation projects, which included the acquisition and management of significant public investment funds to help save one of Europe's most important early-Modernist architectural complexes of the 20th century.

    Research Interests

    I am an educational, political and urban anthropologist with a geographic focus on East and Central Europe. In my early publications, I built on my ethnographic research in the Czech military focusing on the cultural and political paradoxes of post-socialist transformation in the liminal period of intensive post-Cold War civil-military restructuring.  My current work highlights issues of nationalism, citizenship, racism, memory and belonging as they emerge in the everyday educational and political discourses and practices in Poland and the Czech Republic. I am also involved in collaborative research analysing changes in higher education in Central Europe and Ireland. The politics of memory and history figure prominently in my continuous urban-based research, much of which I have dedicated to exploring and making public the silenced heritage of the formerly multicultural societies of Central Europe. I also published extensively on anthropology of post-socialism and post-colonialism and participatory and action research methodologies.

    Teaching Interests

    I teach compulsory undergraduate and postgraduate Anthropology modules, including first-year UG and PG introductions to Anthropology and third-year UG module on globalisation. Since 2022-23, I have been coordinating a collaborative university-wide second-year UG elective module on race and racism.

    I have developed and led a number of international grants and initiatives focused on learning and teaching, including a Horizon 2020-funded European doctoral training scheme (EDiTE – European Doctorate in Teacher Education, 2016-2020) and award-winning international study programs in partnership with North American universities (Syracuse University, New School for Social Research, State University of New York). As an Associate Dean for International Education and Research, I was instrumental in establishing international doctoral programmes (in English and Czech languages) in the field of Education at the University of Lower Silesia, Poland and well as other international doctoral training initiatives (Horizon 2020, international school with New School for Social Research, etc.).
