I currently wear two hats: I am a Lecturer in Geography at the Open University and a Lecturer in Public Policy and Research Methods at the University of Glasgow. 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:
1) International migration
2) Wellbeing
3) Qualitative methodologies
I am currently involved in the production of two modules:
I am also involved in the delivery of:
