Léna’s main interests are in cultural theory, economic sociology, material culture studies and theories of practice. Her PhD looked how consumption norms changed from one generation to the other in Hungary and the way these changes are connected to transforming worldviews, social structure and politics.
Léna's current research looks at different evaluation criteria or worth pertaining to particular fields, combining approaches of Bourdieu, Lamont, Boltanski and material culture studies.
