- Antonia Pup
Antonia Pup, 1st year, History
About Antonia:
“My name is Antonia and I am passionate about the critical analysis of everything around me. I always try to find the essence of the phenomena that are taking our lives, from the study of political events, to the analysis of the socio-economic context, to philosophical currents, from the problems faced by citizens in everyday life to the way we communicate. I am studying History, a consistent program of studies, which answers the main questions I am asking about these recurring events: how does the current past influence us and, above all, there is a cyclical background that can help us better explain the changes and challenges facing humanity against the background of what is likely to be the second major industrial revolution, the digitization revolution? I have chosen CODHUS because I am convinced that this vast field - digital humanities - needs competent researchers, I want to be among them, and through my research work, to help clarify these questions that are breaking our conscience. I believe that this research center has the potential to innovate society at several levels, including the historical dimension, a dimension which is vital to the development of humanity. I am passionate about education, I am analyzing it and arguing for the opportunity for educational policy measures, from the perspective of a student and an education activist, on my blog on the Adevărul platform.”
