I’m a Ph.D. student in American Studies and the teaching assistant in the Polish Studies Program. Having earned degrees in both American and Polish Studies I’d like my main academic interests in 20th century US literature and history to develop and expand to encompass a transnational Polish perspective coming from both my background and education. My current bilingual project “1968: I odezwą się z góry/Voices from the Mountaintop,” with Professor Keith Griffler of African American Studies, includes research on the transnational history of the social and political ferment and the literature of 1968 in Poland and the US. It will focus on the search for connections between the two seemingly distant places and on digitizing archival materials as well as interviews with participants of the events of 1968.
