The History and Memory of Left-Wing Radical Movements

As an assistant professor at the Eötvös Loránd University (since 2017) and research fellow at the Institut of Political History (since 2015), and Junior Joint Budapest Fellow at IAS CEU (in the spring of 2024) I am deeply engaged with the history and memory of the left-wing radical movements, the history of the Hungarian Soviet Republic of 1919 and its remembrance - in addition to my teaching and tutoring work. I wrote my dissertation on the history of the atheist, left-wing radical student group „Galilei Kör” (Galileo Circle) (1908–1919), this doctoral thesis became published as my first academic book in 2017. My second academic monograph (2019) dealt with the remembrance of the Hungarian Soviet Republic in the Horthy Era. Nevertheless, I am one of the co-authors of a public history book on 1918-1919 (Kérdések és válaszok 1918-1919-ről - Questions and Answers about 1918-1919) in 2018. In the past few years I organized many academic programs related to the WWI and the post war revolutions, and I was the Hungarian participant of the international project of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung „Social Democray and State Building, 1918-1921” in 2018. In 2021 I was awarded for the Bolyai János Research Grant for three years. In 2022 I was awarded for Hanák Péter Prize and Bezerédj Prize. My biography on Hungarian historian Péter Hanák was published in 2023. In the summer of 2023, I studied the history and current challenges of American foreign policy at the University of Delaware as a participant in the "Study of U.S. Institutes" program of the U.S. Department of State. In 2024, I won a scholarship from the Botstiber Institute for Austrian-American Studies (BIAAS) to research the American legacy of Oscar Jászi at Columbia University.
