Like previous Polish studies events at SSEES, including the 2019 and 2020 ‘Polish Studies Today and Tomorrow’ conferences, this event has a workshop format. Speakers will present work in progress. They look forward to receiving friendly and detailed feedback from colleagues united by a common interest in Poland, including Polish migration, but representing different academic disciplines. The BASEES Polish Studies Group is an international group which ‘aims to enhance discussion on critical perspectives emerging in the field of Polish studies...The group seeks to foster research collaboration and enhance exchanges of ideas and expertise.’

This year’s conference will be held on online (13 September) and face-to-face (14 September).
