Mgr. Eva Jarošová, Ph.D.
Research Fellow, Documentation Department, specializing in funerary culture.
Eva Jarošová is a historian specializing in early modern Czech history, with a particular focus on sepulchral and funerary culture, the history of everyday life, and memory studies. She studied History at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, where she defended her doctoral dissertation in 2024 on the material funerary culture of early modern Prague. Her research combines traditional historical methods with approaches drawn from the digital humanities. Her academic profile has been shaped by a number of international research stays, including at the University of Helsinki, the Wirth Institute for Austrian and Central European Studies, and the Herder Institute. As part of the FAIR Data Fellowship 2025 at the Herder Institute, she developed a database of Prague funerary monuments dating from 1500 to 1650.
Alongside her research, she is actively engaged in academic, teaching, and public outreach activities. She is a member of several international scholarly associations, including the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies and the The Sixteenth Century Society, and serves as President of the Executive Board of the Wirth Alumni Network. She also teaches at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University and the Faculty of Arts of University of Hradec Králové, where she develops, coordinates, and teaches courses on Czech history and the Habsburg Monarchy for both Czech and international students. Her academic work is complemented by activities in public engagement and translation.
