I try to make my research accessible to the general public. As an academic, and someone who has benefited from the generosity of the taxpayers, I believe that it is my obligation to give back to the community. One of the ways in which I do that is through public facing scholarship, through engagement with interested reporters and journalists, and through writing for the mass audiences. Here are some examples of my work in that domain, in both Polish and English, as well as publications that cite my work from all over the world.
