Research topics:
Ethnic geography, political geography, critical cartography, migration
Patrik Tátrai’s research interests concern the macro-level ethnic processes in East and Central Europe and how this picture is shaped by micro-level identification and categorisation phenomena. Besides, he is engaged in exploring how politics and the visualisation of place names interrelate in multiethnic settings. He also focuses on cross-border migration in the context of kin-state policies in Transcarpathia, Ukraine.
