My current research draws from organizational anthropology in focusing attention on museums of genocide and oppression, especially in reference to Hungarian institutions such as the House of Terror Museum and the Holocaust Memorial Centre and Archives in Budapest, as well as the Memory Point Museum in the southern town of Hódmezővásárhely. In particular, I am interested in developing understandings of what it means to work in such new institutions of acute memory, and how the general public understands their experiences as visitors in reference to history, nation and wider senses of community.
