As a field researcher, I have dedicated the past two decades to investigating childhood and youth studies through postcolonial and decolonial lenses, with a focus on participatory approaches, children's rights, and education in diverse cultural contexts (transnational lifeworlds). My research expertise lies in inclusive humanising methodologies, decolonial thought, and navigating ethical dilemmas in sensitive, fragile environments. My research has spanned multiple regions, including the Horn of Africa, Central Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and the South Caucasus. With 20 years of experience in academia, I have held positions at universities in Poland and Germany, directing and co-directing international Master's programs in Childhood Studies and Children's Rights. Currently, as PhD habil. (DSc), I'm an Assistant Professor at the University of Warsaw (Faculty of Education) and a Guest Professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Darmstadt, Germany. My extensive research experience has yielded numerous publications, expert reports, and recognition in the field. I hold a PhD in Education, a postdoctoral degree -habilitation with distinction and have taught internationally at various higher education institutions, contributing to scientific committees and journal editorial boards. As a researcher, I develop child-adult-centered methodologies, autoethnographic reflexivity, and participatory oriented research frameworks to advance theoretically grounded inclusive pedagogies and evidence-based social justice interventions.

Zainteresowania naukowe

Prowadzę badania terenowe i partycypacyjne. Moja działalność naukowa koncentruje się na problematyce migracji, studiów nad dzieciństwem w perspektywie międzykulturowej, dotyczy m.in. dziecka marginalizowanego i dyskryminowanego i jego praw w kontekście edukacji (praw w edukacji) i wychowania w różnorodnych kulturowo środowiskach oraz w procesie migracji. Prowadzę badania w Afryce Środkowej, w Rogu Afryki, na Kaukazie oraz wśród migrantów w tym osób z doświadczeniem uchodźstwa z Ukrainy i z mniejszości w Polsce. Nie ograniczam się wyłącznie do działań naukowo-badawczych, ale także wykorzystuję wiedzę naukową w praktyce (prowadząc szkolenia, konsultując koncepcje badań i narzędzia badawcze w metodologiach badań zorientowanych na dzieci i młodzież).

• badania terenowe, partycypacyjne, badania w działaniu, etyka badań partycypacyjnych i kody badań partycypacyjnych oraz narzędzia badawcze w studiach migracyjnych i (s)prawach dzieci;


• studia nad dzieciństwem i prawami dzieci w tzw. „wrażliwych/predysfunkcyjnych kontekstach” analizowane w podejściach dekolonialnych i perspektywie postkolonialnej, realizowane w nurcie kobiecych, indygenicznych badań terenowych w środowiskach zróżnicowanych kulturowo;


• badania życia codziennego i edukacji dzieci i młodzieży z grup uchodźczych i mniejszościowych w Afryce Środkowej, w Rogu Afryki, na Kaukazie Płd.;

• dzieci w drodze (children on the move), dzieci bez miejsca (children „out of place”); studia nad ludobójstwami i „trudna wiedza”(difficult knowledge);


• inkluzja, partycypacja w edukacji, wychowanie i edukacja rdzenna (indigenous education), edukacja mniejszości narodowych, etnicznych, dzieci z kontekstem migracyjnym;
