Mgr. Jana Jablonická Zezulová

Mgr. Jana Jablonická Zezulová specialises in 20th-century history, collective memory, identity, resilience, and less visible forms of resistance in everyday life. Her research focuses particularly on how individuals and communities responded to social pressure, political restrictions, and inequality, and how they created opportunities for a more dignified, freer, and more solidaristic way of life.

She has long been engaged in researching the history of women's emancipation and the history of queer and LGBT communities in Central Europe. She is particularly interested in stories that have long remained on the margins of public memory but significantly broaden our understanding of the history of cities, society, and everyday life.

At the Bratislava City Museum, she works as a researcher and Head of the Research Department. As part of the international Turning Points project, she leads a research activity examining Bratislava's resilience after 1945 and contributes to the development of research and an exhibition for a new branch of the museum.

She is the author and co-author of academic and popular science publications in the fields of history, sociology, and gender studies. At the Bratislava City Museum, she co-curated HANA, an exhibition dedicated to the writer, intellectual, and feminist Hana Gregorová, and co-edited the publication Chcela som viac: Kontexty života a tvorby Hany Gregorovej (I Wanted More: Contexts of the Life and Work of Hana Gregorová).

As a researcher, she does not manage a separate museum collection. Her work focuses primarily on research, the interpretation of historical topics, and the development of academic publications, exhibitions, and public-facing educational content.
