Balázs Trencsényi (born 1973) is a Hungarian historian of East Central European political and cultural thought. [1] He is currently a Professor at the Department of History, Central European University as well as the Co-Director of Pasts, Inc. Center for Historical Studies. [2]
Balázs Trencsényi was born in Budapest. He graduated from Lycée Ferenc Toldy in 1991. [3] He studied history and philosophy at Eötvös Loránd University and graduated with a MA in 1997. In 2004, he graduated from the Central European University with a PhD in history. His doctoral dissertation compared the Hungarian and British discourses of nationhood in the early-modern period. [4]
Since then, he has worked as assistant professor, associate professor, professor, and departmental head at the Department of History, Central European University. [2] [5] He is the director of the History in the Public Sphere [6] Erasmus Mundus MA Program at CEU. [7]
He has been a visiting fellow at Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, [8] Berlin Institute for Advanced Study, [9] International Research School in Conceptual History and Political Thought, [4] University of Jena, [10] Centre Marc Bloch at Humboldt University of Berlin, [11] Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin, [12] Center for Advanced Study Sofia, [13] among other academic institutions.
Balázs Trencsényi has been interviewed by numerous Hungarian-language, [14] [15] [16] German-language, [17] [18] [19] Czech-language, [20] Ukrainian-language, [21] [22] and English-language outlets. [23] Trencsényi views the Orban regime as similar to Horthy system and the Kádár system in that it also managed to win over a "silent majority". [24] Orban's "attack on CEU weaves together a complex web of antiliberal and neo-authoritarian political forces and ideological streams." [25] He is also critical of the technocratic considerations in the European project, which made "people feel overconfident, and neglect their duties, which are actually transnational duties." [26]
He is a co-organizer of the Invisible University for Ukraine. [27] [28]
Balázs Trencsényi has been elected as a member of Academia Europaea since 2011. [34] In 2023, he has been awarded Community Service Excellence Awards at CEU. [28]
