I have been determined to become an academic since an early age, making the study of history in general and the middle ages in particular my main pursuit. Since philosophy asks many of the same questions that history does I was soon drawn to it and other related disciplines and I can now boast a broad field of interest, including not only history, but also theology, literature, political philosophy and anthropology. I hope to apply this interdisciplinary approach embarking on a PhD on medieval political culture in the 12-13th centuries as examined through rebellion of heirs apparent against their fathers in systems of primogeniture, for which I am gathering material and funds.

I have a been moderating and participating in debates throughout high school and university, with topics ranging from history and philosophy, through culture and art, to politics and economics. Since graduating I published two articles on medieval history, translated and edited a collection of essays on theory of education and recently presented my research at the Glasgow-St. Andrews Papacy and Periphery conference. My current pet project is the translation of Alexander White's Holocaust memoirs, for which I have already found a willing publisher.

Having been brought up in Poland I retain fluency in Polish and knowledge of Polish culture. I am also an appreciator of the Russian civilisational project, being in my second decade of learning the language. I have also picked up a working knowledge of Latin which I applied extensively when reading sources for my masters' thesis. Recognising that a lot of unique, relevant historiography pertaining to state formation and medieval state theory has been written in German I have started learning it, as of yet not to any spectacular effect.

I am most happy when reading about my subject or the human condition more generally, listening to Chopin, Bartok, or running.
