a post on RESEARCH

Welcome again to this blog. Thank you so much, first of all, for having completed my short survey. I created this post so you can leave comments/feedback/advice about some of the questions, the video, and the research in general. I will do my best to answer them in due time (you can contact me for a copy of the dissertation in May).

the link to the survey is the following (! it is only aiming at London Hungarians !):

As I mentioned in the email I do favor face-to-face encounters the most, so feel free to contact me. And it would be a great help if you could forward this survey to your Hungarian contacts in the capital...

If you are interested in more examples of contemporary Hungarian bands, here is a short list of youtube videos to view:
