Head of the Department: prof. of UJ, Piotr Borowiec, PhD
Position: professor
Research interests:
His research interests focus first of all on two fundamental areas. The first one is the study of the transformations in contemporary Polish politics, with emphasis on the relationship between these changes and the use of time in politics and its reception by the society. The problems regarding the ways and the extent to which the time affects the society, including the political sphere, are of particular interest as well. His interest in contemporary Poland also involves the studies on the structures of Polish political parties, political programmes and political campaigns. The second area comprises selected aspects of the theory of politics, such as: the analysis of fundamental methodological bases of political science and the problem of limitations and cognitive value of political science. This area also includes the issues connected with political bodies, political values and norms, the analysis of political relations and interests, as well as theories of political acts and political decisions. Both areas of interest fall within the scope of broadly-understood political sociology and political science.

Małgorzata Kułakowska, PhD
Position: assistant professor
Research interests:
Her research interests focus on two areas. First of all, the analysis of contemporary transformations of British society, with particular emphasis on the relations between ethnocultural communities in the context of such political changes as devolution or Brexit. Secondly, broadly understood political anthropology, focusing on the analysis of the concept of culture and its significance in power relations. Consequently, she is also interested in related research methods, mostly of qualitative and interpretive character. Both areas of interest fall within the scope of political sociology.
