The lecture took place on March 26, 2026
Lecturer: Mgr. Adéla Petřeková, Institute of Social Anthropology, Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences, Comenius University in Bratislava
The lecture offered a different perspective – one rooted in social anthropology and human ethology. People do not live only in a physical environment, they live primarily in a cultural environment, where shared ideas, customs and relationships determine what is dangerous, what is valuable and how to behave. Through life history theory and field research in socially excluded localities in the Czech Republic, the lecture showed that change and adaptation to it take place at different levels, individual and population, cultural and genetic, and that confusing them is one of the most common errors in interpreting the behavior of people living on the margins of society.

The lecture from the lecture series Anthropological Wanderings through the World of Human Cultures discusses the process of integration of female migrants from Ukraine in Slovakia after the outbreak of war in 2022. The aim of the lecture is to present their experiences with assistance when leaving their home country and upon arrival in Slovakia, as well as their daily functioning, level of integration, and coping strategies that helped them cope with stress during that period.
