Professional characteristics

Dr. Hedviga Tkáčová, PhD studied doctoral studies in journalism at the Catholic University in Ružomberok, Slovakia. She decided to pursue further studies, adding a bachelor’s degree in Mission Work, a master’s degree in Social Management and social work, a rigorous examination in the field of theology, focusing on interfaith dialogue, and a second rigorous examination in Religious studies. Pastoral work, social work, and studies in religion were important parts of each of these programs. In-depth understanding of each subject, as well as pedagogical enthusiasm and practical participation, in the form of publication in these areas grew naturally. At that time, Hedviga Tkáčová worked as an assistant professor in the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Žilina in Žilina. At the same time, she also directed the communications department of the Christian Education Foundation in Martin, working primarily in the field of public relations.

In recent years, Dr. Tkáčová has developed a growing interest in human resource management, issues of cultural diversity, and positive uses of the media in education. Her enthusiasm for the latter area allowed her to return to the Catholic University in Ružomberok, where she now works as an assistant professor (currently on parental leave). She publishes on the domestic and foreign scene in the field of new media, disinformation media, and management of education using social media.
