Orsolya Papp-Zipernovsky

Doctoral Candidate at the Theoretical Psychoanalysis Programme, Psychology Doctoral School, School of Humanities, University of Pécs, Hungary

Having earned a masters degree in Psychology and Hungarian language and literature, I was always seeking to find a common platform for both fields in my research. My starting point was aesthetic reception. Over the last couple of years I have been conducting research projects at the Institute of Psychology at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Department of Film Studies at ELTE University, both in Budapest. I applied for the Wirth Insititute scholarship to be able to finish writing my PhD dissertation, and to broaden my international contacts in my field of research. The Department of Psychology at the University of Alberta is one of the leading ones in Canada and is also highly acknowledged internationally. I joined a Literature Psychology research group there, and I am applying for conferences in North America. The Wirth Institute provides us doctoral research fellows from Central and Eastern Europe with a safe and inspiring work environment and a fresh look at the history and culture of Central Europe through the various events they facilitate and through the day-to-day conversations with the fellows.
