Working title of research: Post-Brexit constructions of citizenship and affective identifications amongst Hungarian migrants
Research summary: I am a first year DPhil candidate under the supervision of Dr Dace Dzenovska. My research focuses on how Hungarian migrants in the United Kingdom intertwine opportunities, values and visions embodied by their national (Hungarian), supranational (European) and local (British) ‘citizenship’ to realign migration goals to the changing structural conditions in light of Brexit and the Hungarian state’s diasporas engagement schemes.
Research interests: migration, diasporas, transnationalism, citizenship, return, European Union.
