Tina Reis is a Berlin-based anthropologist and writer currently residing in Bucharest for an internship at CubicMetre - resources for culture. She recently graduated with a B.A. in European Ethnology and Social Sciences from Humboldt-University, Berlin. In her B.A. thesis she analyzed how visitors related to the memorial dedicated to the victims of the Nazi "euthanasia" killings in Berlin. Ever since she heard her first lecture about cultural memory, she can't walk past memorials, monuments and history museums in any given city without contemplating their social significance. Apart from that, her interests lie in feminism and cultural policy. She's blogging about the latter on her personal blog.
