Eva Tamara Asboth is a historian and communication scholar working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Comparative Media and Communication Studies (CMC) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Klagenfurt (AAU) since 2022. Her transdisciplinary work focuses on the intersections between media, memory and crisis. She completed her PhD at the Department of Contemporary History in Vienna in 2019. Her monograph, based on her dissertation "Transnational and Transatlantic Perspectives on the Balkans, 1850-1918" (Open Access in April 2025), explores how actors encountering new spaces and cultures mediated and transferred their knowledge and influenced media content. As a media historian, she is interested in the development of female public spheres. Her main project reconstructs the women's media landscape in inter-war Austria and links it to their lifeworlds during the rise of fascism. She is analyzing women’s magazines published in the 1920s and 1930s.
