Dr. Veronika Lajos, Unkari, marraskuu 2012-tammikuu 2013
Veronika Lajos (b. 1979) defended her dissertation at the University of Debrecen, Hungary in 2011. Her topic is the clash between traditional and modern systems of values in a peasant society undergoing the process of modernization. More specifically, she investigated the conflict between 20th-century modernization and the Moldavian Csángó socio-cultural system, which has multiple cultural and linguistic layers and continues to display archaic features even today. The objective of the dissertation is to examine the quality and means of culturally encoded adaptation through the interpretations of the symbolic and the "real" instances in the social transition that has taken place in the Moldavian Csángó peasant society during the past 60-80 years. Lajos' research is based on empirical observation conducted during a 10-month stationary fieldwork in Lujzikalagor (Luizi-Cǎlugǎra, Bacǎu, Romania) in 2006-2007. Since 2007, Veronika Lajos has been working as a research assistant for the Ethnology Research Group at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. The research team is placed at the University of Debrecen, where she also teaches. Lajos' main fields of interest are: modernization, strategies of cultural adaptation, social and cultural fields of transition, glocalization, transnational migration, ethnicity, national and ethnic minorities and contemporary history and historiography in Romania and Hungary.
