Description of Research
Summary Statement of Research Interests
My primary research focus is on Polish cinema and literature during late communism. I specifically write about the works of Andrzej Wajda and Tadeusz Konwicki, alongside Stanislaw Lem, Krzysztof Kieslowski, and Wislawa Szymborska. I also write about East European cinema post-1989. I have researched and published on the topics of the secret police files in Poland and archive theory, and I teach and do research within the fields of law and literature and law and humanities.
