Britt-Kathleen Mere
Chairman
I was born in Tallinn, but my roots are in Rapla and Saarde parishes. I study Finno-Ugric languages and folkloristics at the University of Tartu, in my bachelor’s thesis I focus on common vocabulary in Saarde subdialect and Livonian language, because according to family stories, my great-grandmother was also a Livonian living in Saarde parish. My interest in the history, languages and kinship of Finno-Ugric peoples is what brought me to Hõimulõimed. In my heart, I feel a strong sense of belonging with my tribesmen! I am also an active member of our band Kännu Peal Käbi, because I believe that with music we can preserve and protect the tiny Uralic languages, which are in danger of fading away in this constantly changing world.
Bogáta Timár
Secretary
I’m from Hungary, I moved to Estonia in early 2020. Although I have always been fascinated by languages and Finno-Ugric peoples, it became the centre of my life in 2013 and still is. My field of research is the Meadow Mari language, on which I have conducted several studies and participated in many international research projects. I also teach Finnish as a private tutor and am a member of our Finno-Ugric band Kännu Peal Käbi. Apart from academia, I have a passion for popular science and introduction of Finno-Ugric peoples to wider audiences.
