Marek Mikuš

Marek Mikuš is a PhD candidate in anthropology at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). His research interests include anthropology of politics, development, postsocialism, globalisation, and Roma in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. From September 2010, he is carrying out an ethnography of practices and meanings associated with processes of democratisation, Europeanisation and civil-society building in Belgrade, Serbia.

Marek's PhD research is funded by an LSE PhD Scholarship and a scholarship of the International Visegrad Fund. The project is supervised by Professor Deborah James (LSE) and Dr Mathijs Pelkmans (LSE).

I have previously worked as a participatory conservation intern in C-3, media analyst in Newton Media, a media assistant in People in Need’s Social Integration Programs, and an expert intern in the Office of the Plenipotentiary of the Slovak Government for Roma Communities. I have gained my first MA in Ethnology from the Charles University, Prague, and my second MSc in Anthropology and Development from the LSE.
