Tereza Juhászová is a Lecturer in modern history of Central and Southeastern Europe at the Department of Russian and East European Studies, Institute of International Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University. She holds a PhD in History from the University of Regensburg and Charles University (co-tutelle). Her research focuses on the social history of Central Europe, with particular attention to social, gender, and linguistic dynamics in urban and peripheral spaces during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Her current research examines sexual violence in the late Habsburg Monarchy from a bottom-up perspective, focusing on local actors, including both ordinary people and meso-elites. She works on the project “Understanding and Experiencing Sexual Violence in the Late Habsburg Monarchy,” funded by the Czech Science Foundation (GAČR, 2026–2028) and led by Prof. Ota Konrád (IMS FSV UK).

She is a recipient of the Charles University Grant Agency President’s Award for Outstanding Research Achievement, awarded for the article “Teachers in Power: Nation-Building and Loyalty in a Czechoslovak Periphery (1918–1947),” published in Contemporary European History (2025).
