Presentation

I’m a sociologist and political scientist interested in studying contemporary elites from the point of view of inequalities and relations of power, especially in the Eastern and Central Europe. Also, I study how knowledge and expertise are embedded in social relations, including in the context of historical and geopolitical processes. I have focused my empirical research on foreign policy experts and commentators, government ministers, scholars of underdevelopment and social movements, among others. I have graduated from University of Warsaw, where I worked until 2024. Currently, I’m a member of the project “Moral Elites: The Historical Positioning of Civil Society Leaders in National Moral Economies (MORALITES)”.
