We would like to invite you to the Cultural Orientation at UW workshop, organized by the Welcome Point.

The main goal of this free event is to provide all newcomers with tools that will ease their life in a new place at the very beginning, when help is much needed. However, if you are not a new student but are interested in the topic and the structure of the University of Warsaw still seems complicated to you, feel free to join.

During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

  • How cultural differences influence daily communication in the academic community.
  • The structure of the University of Warsaw.
  • Communication with academic and administrative staff: dos and don’ts.
  • Studying at the University of Warsaw from a foreigner perspective.
  • Intercultural communication: useful tips and tools.

 

We are planning two editions of the workshops:

  • 28-29  September for first-year long term students of the first-cycle (BA), students of 1st, 2nd and 3rd year of uniform master level studies and doctoral candidates
  • 1-2 October for long term students of 2nd and 3rd year of the first cycle (BA), long term students of the second cycle (MA), long term students of 4th and 5th year of uniform master level studies

The workshop will be held online from 10 am. to 1:30 pm.

Cultural Orientation Workshop at UW (1– 2 of October) is organized within the Integrated Development Programme at the University of Warsaw and is funded by European Social Fund.

American Studies Colloquium Series

April 3: Gatekeeping, Paranoid Professionalism, and Redefining Literacy: How US Librarians Fought, Found, and Loved Comic Books

March 20, 2025

We are pleased to invite you to the third lecture of the American Studies Colloquium Series in the 2025 Spring semester! In this talk, we will look at how US librarians fought against comic books as though libraries were the last line of defense in a vital war. We will examine the existential threat that librarians perceived comics to pose in the mid-century and the gradual, nervous thawing of that opposition in the 1970s and 1980s.
