Ing. Lenka Lízalová, Ph.D.: Graduated in Economics and Management at Brno University of Technology, she completed additional pedagogical studies at the University of Economics in Prague and obtained her doctoral degree in Finance at Mendel University in Brno. She inherited her interest in Genealogy from her ancestors. She has been studying genealogy at VŠPJ since 2010, at that time she helped with the development of teaching materials and scripts, and since 2015 she has been lecturing the Genealogy course. She has given several interviews for Czech Radio on the topic of capturing family history and has participated in several exhibitions of family charts (e.g. at the Museum of Vysočina Jihlava at an event organized by the Czech Genealogical and Heraldic Society or in 2021 for the Night of Scientists at VŠPJ).

Annotation: Genealogy is a science that studies the relationships between people that result from ancestry.
The Genealogy course will help students discover information about ancestors and teach them to process that information independently. One of the key values of this course is the sharing of research best practices among genealogy enthusiasts. Learning together and exchanging experiences contribute to the enrichment of each participant. The course offers an inspiring environment for exploring family histories and motivates participants to discover their own roots.
