Eva Kundtová Klocová

I am interested in communication in religious rituals, use of ritual bodily postures and religious hierarchies.

In 2018 I was awarded the PhD at Masaryk University for a doctoral work in Religious Studies devoted to the communication role of the body in religious rituals. In my work, I focus both on the theoretical approaches to the subject of physicality in the religious ritual and on empirical research approaches focused on specific ritual bodily practices.

From 2015 I am in charge of the HUME Lab infrastructure management at the Faculty of Arts of Masaryk University, where I provide support and coordination of research projects in the humanities and social sciences.
