Dégh was born in Budapest, Hungary and is well known as a folklorist for her work with legends, identity, and both rural and urban communities in Europe and North America. In 2004, as professor emerita at Indiana University, she was awarded the AFS Lifetime Scholarly Achievement Award. Dégh also served as president of the American Folklore Society in 1982.

Érdy Miklós független kutató, a korai Közép-Ázsia lovasnomád kultúráival foglalkozik. Keleti tanulmányait jól segitik korábbi iskolái, így kémiai PhD -je a hun bronzüstök vizsgálatánál hasznos, míg fogorvosi doktorátusa, DDS, a koponyák és más csontok kiértékelését segíti.

The American Hungarian Educators Association established this Award in 2009 to recognize outstanding contributions to the advancement of the purposes and activities of the AHEA.

A professor of history at Gannon College for many years, Thomas was an excellent scholar. While he had not been active in the Association in recent years, he was a keen student of Hungarian culture and society, and actively promoted it through his professional and intellectual contacts. He will be missed by all of us.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend the 47th Annual American Hungarian Educators (AHEA) Conference which will take place at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut, USA on 27 – 29 April 2023.
