Felgr, Luboš
The diploma thesis deals with the Jewish Council of Elders in Prague, whose existence is defined in the years 1943-1945.

"I feel like an alien" - migration of Filipino women and mixed marriages
Kotrbatá, Adéla ; Ezzeddine, Petra (advisor) ; Grygar, Jakub (referee)
This thesis reacts to the Philippine migration trend, supported by Philippine government for economic reasons, mostly regarding to work opportunities of migrants abroad. Author concentrates on primarily non-work related migration but the partnership related one, with focus on Filipino women, who migrate to Czech republic with their husbands. The work is based on 5 in-depth interviews with female Filipino migrants, where choice strategies and important moments in constructed narrative images of reality were identified. In the process of migration the gender power change was identified as non-fluid. Gender is being perceived as anchored in the institutions and social relations that are not space-dependant, in this case it manifests in the family. Family relations are lasting across spatial distance and so they constitute the feeling of migrants that they have to support their family. There is also the difference between strategies of women who could migrate into developed country sooner and therefore broaden their gender power and those for whom Czech Republic is the first country, where they migrated and became financially and also partly socially dependent on their husband.
