I am a researcher and senior lecturer at the Department of culture and media studies, Umea university, Sweden. My research interests concern narrativity, life stories, mobility and intersectionality. My PhD thesis was an analysis of how Polish well-educated professionals told their life stories after the fall of communism; I have also written on family stories. Another theme in my research is international mobility of professionals; Polish doctors working in Sweden and Swedish doctors going on assignments in the global South, with aid organisations like the Red Cross or Doctors without Borders. Currently I work on two research project, about "internationalisation" of the Swedish humanities as ideal and practice; and on museums and adult education organisations promoting telling and sharing of life stories as a creative, inclusive and emancipatory practice.
