EDUCATION
I'm a Doctor of Earth Sciences and a graduate of the Faculty of Geography and Regional Studies at the University of Warsaw. I received two Master's degrees (geography and spatial management). In my doctoral thesis, defended in 2012, I examined immigrant integration policies conducted in Germany and the United Kingdom.
Since 2012 I have worked at University of Warsaw as a lecturer and researcher.
I was as a leader and team member in several research projects financed by, among others: National Science Center, University of Warsaw, 4EU+, and City of Warsaw.

This article examines the practices of multilocal residents of the Mazovian Voivodship. The research focuses on spatiotemporal arrangements, motives, activities, and the perceived influence of multilocal living arrangements. Analyses are based on selected materials obtained from semi-structured, problem-oriented interviews, which were conducted in 2022 as part of the preliminary research (n=11), and an online survey on a representative group of inhabitants of Mazovian Voivodship (n=996).

The aim of this article is to present the practices of spatial and temporal organization and modes of inhabitation of multi-local researchers and to show how scientists perceive their multi-local lifestyle. Materials obtained from semi-structured, problem-oriented interviews, conducted as part of the preliminary research in 2022, were used for the analysis in the article. The research focused on four aspects: spatial arrangements and time use (duration and rhythm), multi-local practices (with particular emphasis on work-related mobility practices and housing arrangements), and the construction of the meaning of multi-local arrangements. The article attempts to contextualize the practices of multilocal life in accordance with the assumption that people living in several places constantly create new spaces, not only expressed in terms of real, territorial space but also socially or culturally constructed space.

Warsaw and its metropolitan area seem an interesting testing ground for research on the phenomenon of residential segregation in the context of the evolution of housing policy, since the city has been subject to significant changes as a result of historical events. Each of these contributed to alterations in the level and the character of residential segregation. The goal of this article is to answer the following question: Was the changing housing policy in Warsaw and the surrounding metropolitan area during the transformation period and afterwards accompanied by a modification of the segregation structure and what differences can be noticed in the whole of the metropolitan area and in the city itself?

Abstract The aim of this article is to answer two questions concerning the scale and the pattern of residential segregation in Warsaw at the local level and the character of contemporary processes accompanying and modifying this phenomenon. While examining residential segregation we have applied a multidimensional approach to underline the complex nature of this phenomenon. We have focused on data concerning different demographic and socio-economic categories. Furthermore we indicate and describe three socio-spatial, contemporary processes that have accompanied an increase in social inequalities in Warsaw (the creation of enclaves of poverty and wealth and the process of gentrification). The research reveals increasing social inequalities at the local level that began in the socialist era and have strengthened during the transformation period, as well as the stability of the socio-spatial pattern in selected districts that influence their local specifics.

The aim of the work detailed in this article has been to indicate demographic and social categories to the greatest extent segregated in the three selected metropolitan areas of Warsaw, Berlin and Paris, by applying multidimensional analysis; as well as to answer a question as to whether these categories are similar or different, given the different circumstances underpinning the development of the areas under study. The metropolitan areas were selected from Central Europe (Warsaw), Western Europe (Paris), and from the area located in the borderland between these regions (Berlin). In the case of each area, typical categories were selected for analysis, and developed on the basis of accepted segregation indices (the dissimilarity index D, isolation index xPx, delta index DEL, absolute centralisation index ACE, spatial proximity index SP and modified location quotient LQp). The multidimensional and multifaceted analysis allowed the most segregated groups at municipality and district levels to be distinguished, and presented in the context of previous research.

Abstract Social segregation is a subject common in contemporary studies of metropolitan areas. Until recently, studies of segregation focused on the distribution of ethnic groups, immigrants, and the poor. Today, they also cover additional indicators such as demographic properties, education, and affiliation with social and professional categories, which can also serve to determine the causes of the segregation (including the self-segregation of the rich). This article aims to point out the measures of segregation that present the segregation levels in the most complete manner, along with their application in the context of three European metropolitan areas: Warsaw, Berlin, and Paris. The first part of the article is a review of the existing approaches to segregation measures, followed by the selection of research method, presentation of the analysis’ results, and evaluation of the applied methods; presenting the opportunities and limitations in research of the social segregation phenomenon.

Abstract Awareness that immigrant integration takes place at a local level has been growing for several years. Immigration policy debates and decisions mostly occur at the national level, but the question of how to implement immigrant integration policy is much more urgent at a local level. The purpose of the article is to present the multidimensionality of integration actions as well as examples of projects considered to be “best practices” that are carried out today at the local level in German and UK cities of different sizes. The countries chosen have long histories of immigration and have developed significantly different approaches to immigration issues, nevertheless local experiences (in both countries) highlight not only differences but also similarities in immigrant integration policy. The surveys presented help us to understand that immigrant integration is a complicated process that can be stimulated in various ways, and that there is no single way to introduce policy towards immigrants.
