Biography

I currently wear two hats: I am a Lecturer in Public Policy and Research Methods at the University of Glasgow and a Lecturer in Geography at the Open University. My work is broadly concerned with the issues of international migration, social diversity/difference and wellbeing. I hold a PhD in Human Geography from the University of Sheffield, UK and a combined BSc + MSc in International Relations and European Studies from the Cracow University of Economics, Poland.

I am a co-organiser of the RSA-funded research network PostCEE connecting researchers working on postcolonial and decolonial perspectives on Central and Eastern Europe.

I have worked extensively on research projects including, among others:

  • the Migrant Essential Workers project (as a Co-Investigator) funded by the ESRC/UKRI (2020-2022) and co-led by Prof. Sharon Wright, Dr Kasia Narkowicz and Dr Aneta Piekut investigating health, social, economic and cultural impacts of Covid-19 on migrant essential workers in the UK. To explore these issues with an adequate level of nuance and detail, the project focuses on one prominent migrant group, Polish migrants, as a case study.  
  • the Living Together project (as a Principal Investigator) funded by the Urban Studies Foundation (2017-2019) exploring encounters between Polish migrants and the long-settled population in the East End of Glasgow in the context of Brexit. In a wider perspective, this project looks at migrant-'host' encounters in rapidly changing urban areas and how institutional and political 'hostile environments' affect these encounters.  
  • the Intimate Migrations project (as a Research Associate) funded by the ESRC and led by Dr Francesca Stella (2015-2017) looking at the experiences of LGBT migrants from Central and Eastern Europe in Scotland. In a wider perspective, this project focuses on the role of sexuality in decisions to migrate, LGBT migrants’ sense of belonging in home and host societies, and their social networks.
  • the LiveDifference project funded by the ERC (as a PhD Candidate) and led by Prof. Gill Valentine (2010-2014) investigating the nature of encounters with difference in two distinctive European contexts: the UK and Poland. As part of my PhD, I explored how migration from Poland to the UK impacts on people’s values and attitudes towards difference in terms of ethnicity, religion, class, sexuality, gender, age and disability.
