Activities

My research has been supported by prestigious academic institutions and governmental bodies such as the EUI, DAAD, and the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. I have actively contributed to international academic and public-facing discussions on identity, nationalism, and socio-political transformation in Europe and East Asia. 

I have been invited to deliver guest lectures and presentations at a range of universities and research institutes, and I regularly present my work at major international and specialist conferences across North America, Europe, and Asia. Beyond academia, I collaborate with individuals and civic organisations to share research findings more accessibly and democratically, ensuring that research outputs remain connected to the communities and contexts they engage with.
