Blanka is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellow in the department of Classical Archaeology at the University of Vienna. She specializes in applying interdisciplinary Cognitive Science of Religion and Sensory Archaeology approaches to the study of religious rituals in the Roman provinces. Her current research project, ‘Cognitive Aspects of Mithraic Rituals In Pannonia’ (CAMRIP), offers new insights into the range of religious experiences that occurred within Mithraic religious communities in the Roman provinces of Pannonia Superior and Inferior and sheds a new light on how ritual practices were learned, performed, remembered, diffused, and transformed among different Mithraic communities in Pannonia.
