Prior to my position at Glasgow, I have been an Assistant Professor at Durham University where I have worked for three years. I have also held a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Research Fellowship at Glasgow (2012-16), a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellowship at the Centre for Educational Sociology at Edinburgh (2008-2010), and a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at Edinburgh. I have worked as an Assistant Professor in Social and Political Geography at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków where I have received my PhD.
I have an interdisciplinary background in geography (MPhil), sociology (MPhil) and management and public policy (PhD). My current research focuses on the processes of international mobility and education from the perspective of culture, social inclusion and change. I am interested in the emerging issue of decolonisation in education in the global context of power relations and inclusion within and across contexts. While researching international students from the Global South, Eastern European migrant children and youth and refugee young people, I am particularly interested in the question of who is marginalised and disadvantaged in education structures. I believe this question is critical in addressing social inequalities on local and global scales. I have been principal investigator and co-investigator on a number of projects such as the AHRC Global Challenges (2018-19) Building intercultural pedagogy for higher education in conditions of conflict and protracted crises (co-I); ESRC (2016-19) Identity, citizenship and belonging of migrant youth in the UK (co-I); ESRC IAA (2016-17) Race equality and Scottish school education (co-PI): the British Academy (2014-15) on international students mobility and capacity building in their home countries (PI) and EC Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship (2008-10) on migration, integration and education of Polish migrant families.
I led design and delivery of the massive open online courses (MOOCs) supported by EC Erasmus+ fundings:
2020 Interpreting for Refugees: Contexts, Practices and Ethics
2018 Working Supportively with Refugees: Principles, Skills and Perspectives
Research interests
I am interested in the following areas of research and teaching:
- International migration and education
- International graduate mobility
- Children, youth, international students, family perspectives
- Identity and belonging
- Multilingualism, minority languages and policy, indigenous rights
- Transnational and comparative perspectives
I welcome enquiries about supervision from students who want to do a doctoral project in any area of my research interests and who are keen to use qualitative and mixed research methods.
