I am employed at the
Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland. In 2025, I was awarded habilitation in history. Earlier, in 2019, I defended my PhD thesis in history at the Faculty of History, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland.
I was a visiting PhD student at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland (2016-2017) and Université Paris-Est-Créteil (2019-2020); as well as a visiting fellow at the École Normale Supérieure, Lyon (2020), Free University of Berlin (2022), University of Antwerp (2024) and University of Jyvaskyla (2025).
My research interests revolve around 19th century Polish and European history, history of concepts and ideologies, as well as parliamentary history.
My current research project, financed by the Polish National Science Centre, aims at investigating the parliamentary discourses in Poland and the Low Countries in post-Napoleonic Europe. I focus on rhetorical sequences, key concepts and conceptual changes, as well as on inherited traditions and transnational inspirations exerting an influence upon parliamentary proceedings.
I am the author of a book in Polish:
Polish Radicals and the Galaxy of Modern Concepts, 1832-1888 (2020), which in 2021 was awarded the 2nd degree of Clio Award for the most distinguished Polish monographs in history and a distinction in the 26th edition of the Professor Jerzy Skowronek Award. Also in 2020 was published my second book,
“To destroy all states”. Ludwik Królikowski’s wandering ideas (1799–1879).
In 2020, I was awarded a Scholarship for Outstanding Young Scholars in Poland (2020–2023); in 2022/23 a Joseph Conrad Fellowship from the Institute de Republica; and in 2024, the Visegrad Group Academies Young Researcher Award. Moreover, the Rector of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań awarded me a stipend for extraordinary scholarly achievements in 2016, 2017, and 2018, while in 2025, I have received a distinction for being among three the best evaluated researchers at the Institute of History of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Between 2018 and 2024, I have been a member of the editorial board of “Theoretical Practice” - an open-access bilingual, Scopus-indexed journal that reaches across the social sciences and humanities. I acted also as a guest editor of various special issues, including cooperation with the editorial board of the 'Global Intellectual History' journal.
I am a devoted researcher, effective administrator, and reliable associate, eager to learn further in a stimulating academic milieu.
