About Me
I'm Tracy, a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. I have been studying Czech culture and language for the past three years. I am currently in the Slavic and Global Policy studies programs at UT-Austin and am interesting in everything food-related. My first experience with Czech cuisine was in 2016 on a summer language program in Prague. The food reminded me so much of my grandmother's Polish style of cooking and, even though it is not the healthiest cuisine, I was hooked. Texas is a convenient place to study Czech because of the prevalence of Texas Czechs!
Eventually, I hope to take this project overseas to the Czech motherland. This summer I will be in Prague and Brno for three months and plan on expanding my research to food changes in the 1980s to the present time.
