PhDr. Eva Kuminková, Ph.D., serves as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of European Ethnology within the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University, Brno. Her academic work focuses on intangible cultural heritage, ethnology, and folklore, with regional expertise in Wallachia and critical engagement with UNESCO conventions implementation. Dr. Kuminková's research examines the dynamics of cultural traditions in contemporary society, emphasizing community safeguarding mechanisms, the social functions of heritage during crises, and the transformation of folk practices. She investigates how intangible heritage is documented through national inventories, inscribed on UNESCO lists, and integrated into educational contexts—particularly through regional folklore programs in schools. Her work critically analyzes the tension between living tradition bearers and institutional frameworks, especially regarding Wallachian folk clothing and dance traditions. Her recent publications reveal a strong focus on practical heritage management challenges, including the Czech inventory system as both obligation and opportunity, community-based preservation of dance and agricultural traditions, and conceptual ambiguities in the 2003 UNESCO Convention. These works consistently address the balance between tradition preservation and necessary transformations in modern contexts. Dr. Kuminková has secured significant research funding through multiple projects including: "Tradition – transformations – identity" (2025, Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic) "Folklorism as part of intangible cultural heritage" (2025, Masaryk University) "Bearers of cultural traditions in southern Wallachia" (2007-2008, Masaryk University) These projects explore heritage safeguarding methodologies, community identity formation, and practical implementation of international conventions. Based at the Institute of European Ethnology, Dr. Kuminková actively contributes to academic discourse through conference organization—including the SIEF2023 conference "Living Uncertainty" in Brno—and collaborates with colleagues like Prof. Alena Křížová and Prof. Daniel Drápala on advancing ethnological research and heritage policy in the Czech Republic.
