Beáta Nagy (born 1964) is a Hungarian sociologist and economist whose research explores gender relations in the labour market, work–life balance and the careers of women managers. She is professor of sociology at the Corvinus University of Budapest and, since 2021, president of the Hungarian Sociological Association.[1]
Early life and education
Nagy was born in the northern Hungarian town of Balassagyarmat in 1964.[2]
She studied economics and sociology at the Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences, graduating in 1986 with an MA in both subjects.[1]
Her Candidate of Sciences (CSc) degree in sociology was awarded by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in 1997,[3] and she completed her habilitation at Corvinus University in 2008.[1]
Career
After early appointments as teaching assistant and lecturer, Nagy joined Corvinus University’s Institute of Sociology and Social Policy in 1990 and was promoted to full professor in 2015.[1]
In 2001 she co-founded the Centre for Gender and Culture at Corvinus, which she has been co-directing since.[1]
Her empirical projects have examined gendered management cultures in multinational corporations, the impact of digital technology on executive women, and the work–family strategies of Central-European parents during the COVID-19 lockdown.[4]
Nagy's expert commentary on wage inequality and discrimination has been widely cited in the Hungarian press,[5] while recent interviews have addressed the politicisation of motherhood and gender policy debates.[6][7]
