Dr Marian Krawczyk is an anthropologist and Programme Lead for the End of Life Studies MSc/PgCert/PgDip and Lecturer in Global Sustainable Development (End of Life) in the School of Social & Environmental Sustainability. She first came to Glasgow as a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith Fellow (2017-2020) before joining the university on a permanent basis. She is a core member of the End of Life Studies Group and she is also an affiliate in the School of Health & Wellbeing.
Her research brings together social science, public health, and end-of-life care, and is concerned with how dying, death, and bereavement are experienced, organised, and understood across formal services, communities, and everyday life. She has published on extensively on palliative and end-of-life care, prognostic uncertainty, and end-of-life doulas, and has a longstanding interest in ethnographic, qualitative, and non-traditional methods.
Marian is the founder of the End-of-Life Doula International Research Group, an international network that supports research, collaboration, and critical discussion on end-of-life doula care and related developments in community end-of-life support. She also organises its annual international research symposium.
More recently, her work has expanded into exploring how concepts and insights from end-of-life studies can help us think about climate change and environmental emotions, particularly how environmental grief may be a pathway to long-term resilience. Across her research and teaching, she is interested in questions of loss, care, uncertainty, and social change.
She obtained her PhD in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University (Canada, 2015). Her research was an ethnographic study of hospital palliative care specialists and patients, and how they collectively negotiated the dying process within increasingly complex health systems. She has several post-doctoral positions in partnership with Trinity Western University (Langley, B.C.), The Centre for Health Evaluation and Outcome Sciences (Providence Health, Vancouver, B.C.), and The Canadian Frailty Network. Her previous degrees are in Communication (Masters, Simon Fraser University) and Anthropology (Bachelor, University of British Columbia).
