Welcome in Vienna, Central European University! A conversation with Andrea Petö, Professor for Gender Studies at the Central European University
Andrea Petö explains why the Central European University had to move from Budapest to Vienna and how this reflects the political situation in Hungary. In this podcast we also look back at the 4th International Bet Debora Conference, which took place in Budapest in August 2006 and was hosted by the CEU. Another topic of our talk is Andrea Petö’s research. Her focus are women in World War II: victims as well as perpetrators. She explains how these divergent topics are connected and why she thinks that it is important to reflect and talk about them.
