Kateřina Fuksová is an anthropologist and historian. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Modern History at Charles University, specialising in Eastern Europe, particularly the Republic of Moldova and its capital city, Chișinău. Her research interests include memory and identity, decolonial approaches in Central Eastern Europe, urban anthropology, and grassroots urban protest movements. Her dissertation investigates Chișinău in the 1990s-2000s. It focuses on the transition from socialism to neoliberalism and its consequences for the diverse population of Chișinău and Moldova, more generally. Her research examines the transformation of value systems, memories, identities, sense of belonging and aspirations in the period following the collapse of the Soviet Union.
