I graduated at the Department of Educational Sciences at the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University, where, during his Bachelor, Master and PhD studies, I mainly focused on the history of pedagogy and education. Currently, I work as the head of the Department of Social Sciences at the Institute of Lifelong Learning of Mendel University and as the deputy director for research and science at the same institute. I am specialising mainly in research focused on Czech history of pedagogy and education in the 19th and 20th century.
