Ágnes Vashegyi MacDonald is a Hungarian-Canadian sociologist. Born in Budapest and moved to Vancouver, Canada in the early 1990s, Ágnes has been enjoying the experience of living a hyphenated identity. This two-ness of being Hungarian and Canadian has given her a particular emigrant/immigrant view which she has been tapping into through her studies and scholastic work. Ágnes completed her MA in Sociology and Ph.D. in Comparative Literature at the University of British Columbia. Since her graduation in 2010, she has been teaching Sociology at various institutions in Vancouver. In 2007, Ágnes reviewed Tamas Dobozy’s book, Siege 13 in the Journal of the AmericanHungarian Educators Association, and interviewed Tamas for The New Hungarian Voice which was republished in La Présence Hongroise Au Canada in 2007.
