Biography

I am a linguist (MA, Adam Mickiewicz University) and sociologist (MA, CEU/Lancaster University; PhD, Polish Academy of Sciences).

I have worked as a researcher since 2004, specialising in Polish and Eastern European migration to the UK. However, I have also worked on a variety of other topics and in other fields including public health and demography. I have held research posts at the Centre of Migration Research, Warsaw, Centre for Population Change, University of Southampton, Glasgow Caledonian University and University of Glasgow. I have a strong track-record of policy-oriented research, including commissioned work for the Scottish Government and charities. I was also Academic Fellow with the Scottish Parliament in 2017-18.

I have published extensively on issues related to migration and integration (among others), including a number of policy reports and blogs.

I am currently working on the 'Health, Social, Economic and Cultural impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant essential workers in the UK' project
