Introduction:

Staša Kolar is a master's student in sociology at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Ljubljana. At the University of Tsukuba, she enrolled in the heritage studies programme, a decision influenced by her interest in the sociology of space. Her interest in this field was first piqued during a field trip in her second year of undergraduate studies, when she visited Berlin with the Center for Spatial Sociology.

The student is otherwise active in a variety of fields of interest, but in addition to spatial sociology, the sociology of sport is at the forefront.

Extracurricular Activities:

Outside the classroom, she engages in extracurricular activities as the project leader of the student sociology society, Socioklub. However, her greatest passion lies in judo, a field in which she has been engaged in competitive pursuits since her early years. In recent times, she has assumed the role of a judo coach, overseeing diverse age and social groups.

In her leisure time, she engages in culinary activities such as cooking and baking. Furthermore, she seizes every opportunity to travel the world and explore new places and their cultures.
