Dr. Jana Kopelent Rehak, Czech American cultural anthropologist is currently a researcher at the University of Maryland Baltimore County and Lecturer at University Maryland CP. Her research embraces a range of issues such as coastal environment and social ecology, urban ecology and aesthetics, aging, social inequality, political life, violence and social suffering. In the Czech Republic, she worked with ecological refugees from Chernobyl and published a book Recovering Face about Czech Political Prisoners, addressing issues of aging, social justice, national identity, communication, reconciliation and memory in the context of post-socialist Central Eastern Europe. Her urban anthropology work, since 1994, is based on an engagement with communities in Baltimore, addressing urban development, housing, health and social inequality. From 2013 she has been exploring environmental and social changes on Smith Island in Maryland, with focus on cultural heritage, life cycle, and aging. The signature of her work is a visual representation of socio-cultural life. Her most recent collaborative publication Politics of Joking, is an attempt to make an original contribution to anthropological study of humor and joking in political life.
