CV for Dr Agnes Kory
(Including education, publications, awards, thesis title, examiners, academic/public presentations but not including activities as a professional cellist and music teacher)
I obtained my PhD five months ago, in October 2018. My academic education, which was fully self-funded throughout, was negotiated alongside my activities as a music teacher and professional cellist. I am now committed to long years of full academic focus, in particular on Holocaust issues. For the past eleven years I researched, published and publicly presented Holocaust themes. I am now fully focused on my Holocaust project.
