I am an associate professor at the Institute of Polish Culture, University of Warsaw. I graduated with honors from the University of Warsaw in cultural studies and journalism and hold a PhD from the same university in cultural studies.

I am a theatre and performance scholar, haunted by nineteenth century history; a feminist inspired by women of the past; and a fangirl of fantasy and gothic narratives.

Currently I work on unveiling Polish colonial histories hoping to prevent further replication of racial stereotypes in contemporary Poland.

My research has been widely published in both Polish and international academic journals and I appear as a cultural commentator in Polish media.

I am a mom of two remarkable people who every day make me stop whatever I am doing and stare at them in awe. Unless I am writing…

I need coffee, sun and yoga on daily basis.
