Diana Burgerová

After watching Gilmore Girls in high school, Diana decided to study journalism. Her interest in the Global South gave her at least two formative experiences. In 2016, she documented stories of people who had survived a devastating 7.3-magnitude earthquake in Nepal in 2015. Later, she volunteered with People in Need on the coast of Kenya, in the village of Mtomondoni.

She enjoys longform stories and reportage, but also shorter fiction and children’s books. If you find the time to read, she recommends Gloria (by T. de Fombelle) and My Life as a Zucchini (by G. Paris).

As part of the Perspectives programme, she is currently working on a reportage series about the lives of single-parent families in Slovakia. She is also interested in the perspectives of minorities on the Velvet Revolution of 1989 in Czechoslovakia, though she is already growing tired of the interpretations of historical events offered by white men over sixty, as if no one else’s voice mattered. (No offense.)
