Eftychia Kalaitzidou
About
Eftychia Kalaitzidou has a Bachelor degree in Philosophy, Pedagogics and Psychology (specialisation in Psychology) from the University of Athens. In 2014 she completed her Masters degree in Childhood Studies, NOSEB (Norwegian Centre for Child Research), Department of Education and Lifelong Learning. The title of her master thesis is "I wish my father had a job...": children’s experiences and perspectives of poverty in contemporary Greece. This study aimed to explore children’s experiences of poverty and parental unemployment after the economic crisis in the urban area of Athens, the capital of Greece.
She has worked in various projects in NTNU, among others as a Content Developer for the Greek language in the project “CALST” (Computer-Assisted Listening and Speaking Tutor), a pronunciation training platform.
She is currently a PhD stipendiat under the research project "Missing girls in historical Europe", led by Francisco J. Beltrán Tapia. Her personal project is titled: Discriminatory practices against girls in Greece from 1820 to 1950: a comparative research between the “cosmopolitan” island of Kefalonia and a rural area in the “patriarchal” Mani. Through this project she will attempt to shed more light into the reasons behind the early life sex-ratio imbalance in Greece during the time period from 1820 to 1950.
This will be achieved through a comparative research between the small municipal unit of Sminos, a cluster of thirteen villages in the municipality of East Mani, and the island of Kefalonia, combining thus a micro-level study with a comparative macro-perspective level.
The project will attempt to flesh out the possible connections between sex ratios and social classes, family types, dowries, and inheritance systems by researching regional and individual -level data. It will also explore complex connections between discriminatory practices and various socio-economic factors and temporary shocks (war, famine, natural disasters). Archival and literature material along with existing relevant information of the era upon these matters are going to be examined.
