Trained in anthropology at the Central European University (MA, June 2015) in Budapest, Hungary, and the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (PhD, July 2019) in Halle, Germany. Ana is a social anthropologist whose research focus is at the intersection between socio-cultural values, agricultural production and environmental transformation. She specialised in qualitative research methods, primarily in participant observation and ethnographic interviews.
