Academic profile

I am ethnologist. For 29th years I worked at the Ethnographic Institute with Museum/now - Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum at Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. From 2011 I am working at Old Sofia Municipal Enterprise with Sofia Museum of History.  I am associated external member of the Balkan Ethnology Department at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum at Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. I am associated professor at the History Department of Sofia University. My personal interest in Romani Studies was aroused  in the course of the preparations for an ethnographic exhibition, Gypsies/Roma in Time Past, mounted by National Ethnographic Museum at the Bulgarian Academic of Sciences. I was part of the team created the First international museum exhibition “Roma/Gypsies in Central and Eastern Europe” in 1998/1999 in Budapest. I am engaged in several national and international research projects and have a number of publications about Roma in Bulgaria. My major publication is the monographic research on Gypsies/Roma Dress in Bulgaria (2004).
