VEGA 1/0321/21, Scientific Grant Agency of the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of the Slovak Republic and Slovak Academy of Sciences is an internal grant system for the Ministry of Education and Slovak Academy of Sciences

Name of the project:

The research of the correlations between political consciousness distortions and the rise of political extremism at Secondary school students of Košice self-governing region and Prešov self-governing region

Project implementation period:

01/21-12/23

Status in the project: 

project leader

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project proposes to investigate the correlations between the deformations of political consciousness and the rise of political extremism among young people in the Košice and Prešov regions, together with proposals for measures to eliminate them. The methodological basis of the research on the above mentioned issue will be the stages of political consciousness, which have been theoretically elaborated by Professor Marcela Gbúrová. The project should be a continuation of the research on secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic carried out between 2016 and 2018 (VEGA No. 1/0658/16), in the framework of which the concept of individual stages of political consciousness (insitic, instructed, professional, theoretical) was introduced in more detail.

Name of the project:

"This is Not True, but it Could Be": Conspiracy Theories and Hoaxes in the Modern Development of Slovakia in the European Context

Project implementation period:

07/21-06/25

Status in the project: 

Co-researcher

Brief characteristics of the project:

Conspiracy theories and hoaxes are far from having the character of an innocent disruptive elements of the farright or ultra-left scene. They both are also a serious security threat - they are an imaginary detonator of social tension, have the potential to lead to fundamental polarization and radicalization of society, which can grow into deep internal social conflicts, violence, ethnic cleansing, genocide or even civil wars and the disruption of social consensus (i.e. existing state borders, a new geopolitical reorganization of the world, etc.). This broad-spectrum dimension, stimulated a team of 25 experts in history, political science, ethnology, religion and security studies from three Slovak universities (UMB Banská Bystrica, UKF Nitra, UPJŠ Košice), two university-type academies (AOS Liptovský Mikuláš, APZ Bratislava) and two Slovak Academy of Sciences institutes (Institute of Political Science, Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology) to create a joint project platform and try to seek for a new perspective and a new contextualization of their significance. Project's ambition is to analyze the history of conspiracy theories and hoaxes in Slovakia in European context from 1918 to nowadays as well as the attempt to symbolically “bridge” past and present which has an aspiration to analytically contribute to discussion of one of the most discussed phenomenon of the 21st Century.

Brief characteristics of the project:

The aim of the project is to create modern learning modules that provide secondary school students and university students important insights into the need to actively involvement in public life, also about the opportunities for civic and political participation of young people, and the risks of lack of knowledge of social and political processes, their misunderstanding or public concern in general. The aim of the project is, in particular, to activate students in the field of searching, validating and communicating information about political processes.

Status in the project: 

project leader

Brief characteristics of the project:

The project is aimed at developing an assessment of the level of secondary analphabetism in the Slovak Republic in the field of conventional and unconventional types of political participation through hierarchical forms of participation. The aim is to develop theoretical and methodological bases for the study of secondary analphabetism in politics in the interdisciplinary framework of philosophy, political science, public policy and public administration and sociology with regard to selected areas of socio-political life through: 1. Civic participation, 2. Political participation, 3. Socio-demographic differentiations. The aim of the project Research on Secondary Analphabetism in the Slovak Republic is to begin to fill the gap in research on the declining interest in public affairs. And also to begin to uncover the political and sociological causes and contexts of this state of affairs. The ambition of the project researchers within the secondary analphabetism concept is to analyse the state of secondary analphabetism and its impact on political processes in the Slovak Republic and to develop a theoretical model for the assessment of secondary analphabetism and recommendations for its elimination in the conditions of the Slovak Republic.
