It is our pleasure to report that an 8-person team led by Prof. Paweł Frelik has just received a major grant from NPRH (National Programme for the Development of the Humanities). The project titled “Polskie dziedzictwo gier cyfrowych 1958-2025 – opracowanie katalogowo-bibliograficzne” [Polish Digital Games Heritage 1958-2025: An Index and Bibliography] will run for five years and result in the creation of a public-facing online catalog of all Polish-made video games documenting their bibliographical data and critical writing about them. The research group comprises scholars from Jagiellonian University, SWPS University, University of Tampere, and University of Wrocław as well as several early-career researchers.

June 17-18: Polish-language conference „Jak uczyć o płci i seksualności? Interdyscyplinarność, instytucjonalizacja, zaangażowanie społeczne.”
June 17, 2024
Konferencja „Jak uczyć o płci i seksualności? Interdyscyplinarność, instytucjonalizacja, zaangażowanie społeczne” ma na celu stworzenie przestrzeni, w której mogą się spotkać społeczności akademickie, aktywistyczne, artystyczne, eksperckie tworzące i przekazujące wiedzę o płci i seksualności. Jaka mogłaby być dziś edukacja seksualna? Gdzie jest miejsce na feministyczny i queerowy aktywizm w akademii? Czy słowem kluczowym jest „równość” czy „nierówności”? Czy potrafimy wspólnie wyobrazić sobie studia magisterskie o płci i seksualności w Polsce? Zapraszamy na 6 paneli dyskusyjnych.
