About
Tara has an International Masters in Russian, Central, and East European Studies, and an MA in Political Science (Politikatudomány MA) - a double masters degree - where she was supervised jointly between the Department of Central and East European Studies at the University of Glasgow, and the Institute of Political Science at Corvinus University of Budapest.
Her thesis focused on the extent to which the Hungarians in Serbia affected Hungarian-Serbian relations. Research for her degree examined contemporary materials from the region in the following languages: Hungarian, Romanian, and Russian.
She has an interdisciplinary background in 20th century Russian and East European history. Her main focus is Hungary, including the language; ethnic Hungarians in the Carpathian Basin, and the indigenous (Finno-Ugric) peoples of the Soviet-Russian and Scandinavian Arctic.
Though originally from southern California, Tara received her undergraduate degree in History, with a certificate in Russian and East European Studies, from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2007.
As of August 2011, she lives and works in Washington, DC.
