What is Polish Studies?
Polish Studies is always associated with transgressing norms and boundaries, geographical borders included. It is a journey through the history of one's own language and identity. A journey with an aim, and with many excellent companions.
Polish Studies is discussed by Prof. Mikołaj Sokołowski (IBL PAN Director), Prof. Magdalena Rembowska-Płuciennik and Prof. Tomasz Chachulski.
The role of education and research in Polish studies around the world and the significance of achievements of Polish literature on the global scene are presented by "Geopolonistics" - an undertaking initiated by Prof. Magdalena Popiel (Jagiellonian University), a world map pointing to places where Polish studies education and research are conducted.
