We are pleased to announce the third lecture of this semester in the series "History Department Scholarly & Social Meeting" 

 taking place next Tuesday, February 26, in Hanák Room, at 17:30.  

 Victor Karady will speak about:

Denominational and ethnic inequalities of scholarly achievement among graduating secondary school students in Hungary during the Dual Monarchy (1850-1918).

Grounded in a quasi exhaustive prosopographical survey of the 8th class students of Hungarian secondary schools, the exposé is dedicated to the study of heavily patterned inequalities observable among ethnic groups (mostly between those with Hungarian, Germanic and other types of surnames) and denominational clusters (mostly among Jews, Lutherans, Western and Eastern Christians) in some selected main subjects (national literature, Latin, German, Maths and Sports). The suggested explanation resorts to the socio-historical conditions of student recruitment, the set of collective values and cultural assets invested in their home milieu, their motivations in terms of cultural self-assertion or assimilation and/or social integration, their strategies of professional mobility via further studies.

The Scholarly-Social Meetings, a joint student-faculty initiative, combine lecture series with after-hours integrative event. The aim of the Scholarly-Social Meetings is to provide insights into the work undertaken at our department and, no less importantly, to bring our students and faculty together in a more informal way, building up an academic community beyond the day-to-day scholarly activities.
All faculty, students and staff are welcome!
 
We are looking forward to seeing you all,

Nadia Al-Bagdadi (Head of Department)
