Johana Musalkova

Johana Musalkova is a DPhil candidate in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on the dynamic relationship between collective memory and collective identity in the Silesian borderlands. Paying special attention to the politics of displacement, ‘difficult heritage’ and unsettling memories, she studies how social actors negotiate the present and construct the past. After completing ethnographic fieldwork between Hlučíns and Opavians, she has returned to Oxford where she is currently writing up her dissertation.
