I am assistant professor at Faculty of Education, University of Warsaw. At the same time I am PhD candidate at Faculty of Sociology, University of Warsaw. In my research I try to combine civics, migration studies and critical theory (gender and postcolonial) on mezo- and microlevel. Especially I am interested in minorities - majority groups relations on the individual level (biographical research on refugee woman in Poland), institutional level (coNcultural practices among Ukrainian students in Poland) and civic attitudes among migrants in Poland.
