Sociologist, a graduate of Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, and a doctoral student at the Doctoral School of Social Sciences at the University of Lodz. In 2024, she was awarded the Zygmunt Bauman Prize by the Polish Sociological Association for her co-authored book Społeczeństwo łatwopalne: praktyki pomaganiauchodźcom wojennym z Ukrainy w Polsce w 2022 roku (A Flammable Society: Practices of Helping Ukrainian War Refugees in Poland in 2022). She is a researcher in the Biography and Academic Imaginarium project carried out under the direction of Kamil Luczaj at the University of Lodz with funding from the National Science Center. Her research interests include the experiences of women in migration movements, the social herstory of Central and Eastern Europe, and the social consequences of the war in Ukraine. As a qualitative researcher, she specializes in Fritz Schütze’s narrative biographical interview method.

Since 2023, she has been conducting a research project focused on the autobiographical narratives of older Ukrainian refugee women who arrived in Poland after the Russian invasion in 2022. The study explores questions of identity, memory, language, and generational experience in the context of late-life forced migration. It draws on a diverse sample of women over sixty, paying particular attention to ethical principles of research with vulnerable populations, including informed consent, emotional safety, and long-term impact.

During her residency at the Cetner for Urban History, she will work on the project that seeks to foreground voices that have often been overlooked in both academic discourse and humanitarian practice, highlighting the need to recognize older women not only as recipients of aid, but as narrators of history and agents of meaning-making in conditions of rupture and displacement.
