"Bibliography of Sources for Science and Society" - invitation to fill out a survey
In the years 2024-2027, the "Polish Studies Facing the Challenges of the Contemporary World" project team will conduct coordinated bibliographic work that aims to create an expert "Bibliography of Sources for Science and Society".
Using the resources of the humanities (and Polish studies) has prompted us to bring the issues related to disability studies, narrative medicine, medical humanities, and architectural literary studies closer to society. The thematic collections that we collect to bring these issues closer are created in cooperation between bibliographers and subject experts who provide substantive supervision over the project results and are responsible for the substantive quality of bibliographic collections and collected data.
Therefore, we invite you to share information about your works that fit into the thematic scope of the bibliography we are developing and to fill out the survey below.
The information you provide will be used in the project "Polish Studies and the Challenges of the Modern World".
With respect,
Mariola Wilczak, editor-in-chief of "Polish Studies Newsletter"
together with the team of the project "Polish Studies in the Face of the Challenges of the Contemporary World"

A different view of the competencies of a Polish studies scholar
For many years now, we've been told that the world is rushing and change is inevitable. New phenomena and trends—technology, artificial intelligence, social media—go hand in hand with eternal questions about the meaning and direction of existence, the uncertainty of tomorrow, the inability to keep up with changes, the need to preserve the human element in a world of algorithms and procedures.
"Geopolonistyka" - invitation to fill out a survey
We cordially invite you to participate in "Geopolonistyka", the purpose of which is to create an interactive, multilingual database of Polish studies in the world. Information in the form of text, photos, recordings, podcasts, for which the basic guide is an interactive map, aim to create synthetic knowledge about the current state and history of Polish studies. "Geopolonistyka" allows you to recognize the activities of people and institutions involved in conducting various forms of research and teaching Polish literature, culture and language outside Poland – currently and in the past. We will be honored if you would like to present your activities within "Geopolonistyka" and fill out the survey provided by us.
Engaged Polish Studies
Polish studies provide tools for navigating the world, helping to understand it, and preventing exclusion and loneliness. Therefore, the "Polish Studies and the Challenges of the Modern World" project team decided to engage in the ongoing search for answers to contemporary problems and focus on individuality, regaining connections, interpersonal contacts, and a sense of identity, respecting the principles of openness, accessibility, and inclusivity in the surrounding world.
Między językiem a medycyną. Marta Chojnacka-Kuraś o medycynie narracyjnej i humanistyce medycznej
The diagnosis lies hidden within the patient's narrative. However, whose voice speaks through it? What is the place of narrative in communication between physicians and medical staff, and between patients and their families? Narrative medicine offers an approach which helps to answer these questions and improve our communication skills. It is playing an increasingly important role in healthcare systems worldwide (at Columbia University, it has already become a separate field of study: https://sps.columbia.edu/academics/masters/narrative-medicine).
