Petr Vašát (PV): Maria, first of all, thank you for meeting with me. For our interview, I have prepared questions spanning from informal urbanism to building techniques to politics. Some of these questions are more related to research, while some are more about urban development. However, let’s start with your beginnings. I have discovered that you started to study informal urbanism in Montevideo in the 90s, 1997 to be exact, which is a pretty long time ago. So, how did it all begin?

This article explores the relationships between partnership trajectories and having an only child. Few studies have focused on one-child families, even though in many countries having just one child is the main factor driving sub-replacement fertility levels. Little is known especially about how non-progression to a second child relates to partnership trajectories. This article contributes to filling these gaps by using a mixed-methods life-course research.

Kniha se věnuje tematice inkluze ve vzdělávání. Představuje informovanou a nepředpojatou sondu do procesu, který v odborné i laické veřejnosti začal silněji rezonovat s účinností novely školského zákona (zákon č. 82/2015 Sb.). Tzv. inkluze se ani u nás nezrodila ex nihilo v r. 2015 nebo 2016 a nekončí několika legislativními, organizačními, metodickými a finančními opatřeními. Jádrem dalších kroků na cestě k inkluzi je její akceptace.
