About Me

Ágnes Katalin Kelemen is a Ph.D. candidate in comparative history at the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest. Her dissertation investigates Hungarian Jewish student migration in interwar Europe, provoked by Hungarian academic antisemitism, particularly by the discriminatory “numerus clausus” law. She has edited a source publication (a diary written by a Jew in Nazi-occupied Budapest in 1944-45), authored two book chapters and published several peer reviewed articles in Hungary, Italy and the Czech Republic. Her main research interests are East Central European Jewry and social history with a focus on the connection of higher education and social mobility.
