A workshop with Dr. Eszter Zsofia Toth (Hungarian State Archive) and Professor Ulf Brunnbauer (University of Regensburg, Germany). Dr. Toth is one of the leading historians of the history of everyday life of Communist countries. Her work includes her much acclaimed oral history study of a women's brigade in a socialist factory in Budapest, her PhD project which investigated the profound problems of gender, class, and life-styles in the Kadar era. Professor Ulf Brummbauer has worked extensively on the problems of social history, nationalism, identity constructions and historiography in South Eastern Europe, especially Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania, and the Western Balkan countries.
