Bartoníčková

After studying at the Academic Gymnasium, I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Marketing Communication and Public Relations at Charles University and spent one year studying International Business at the University of Economics, where I was also a member of the Honors Academy.

Through my various industry experiences, I went from working in public relations, public affairs and consulting in digital marketing strategies to working at Google, where I played with big data analytics and ran the non-profit educational project Digital Garage. I like to look for theoretical implications in words like internet globalization, artificial intelligence, digitization of the state, and complex adaptive systems and their implications in the fields of communication, philosophy, political science, and economics, and then the real-world implications intertwined throughout our society.

I am fascinated by the study of public opinion, how it is shaped in the shifting paradigm of media, information and accompanying phenomena, and how they transform our thinking and therefore our societies, states and cultures. My conviction that no other than a holistic perception of this thread of online and offline causality is possible led me to pursue a degree in Social Science on the Internet at the University of Oxford, where I am going for my MSc. with the kind support of the Krsek Foundation.
