RESEARCH COMMUNICATIONS
RESEARCH-BASED INTERVIEWS
- In Political Studies Review, I run a series of interviews with the authors of articles – a great tool for deepening the the matter described.
- I conducted research-based interviews with, among others, prof. Judith Butler, prof. Zygmunt Bauman, prof. Guy Standing, prof. Paolo Mancini.
INFOGRAPHICS AND VISUAL COMMUNICATION
PODCASTS AND VIDEOS
- Political Studies Review short podcast series. In 140 seconds, the authors of the articles talk about the essence of their research.
- I edited Dr. Hayleigh Bosher’s podcast series, “Whose Song Is It Anyway?”. The series explains complexities of IP law in music industry.
- I produced and created promotional videos for the News Literacy project I co-created. Some examples below.
- Video 2 (PL): News Literacy: warsztat krytycznej analizy mediów – YouTube; and more
DIGITAL PROJECTS
I had the honour of co-creating the Apel Humanistów project, as well as developing its communications strategy and website. The project aimed to bridge the gap between scientists (particularly in humanities and social sciences) and policymakers. It’s been a formative experience of collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the field of humanities in Poland.
R/EVOLUTIONS: GLOBAL TRENDS AND REGIONAL ISSUES
I created this project from scratch in 2013, investing an great amount of time and effort into it. While I was a postgraduate student in Poland, along with three friends, we observed a dearth of scientific journals addressing the latest political and social challenges in our country. We aimed to fill this gap by publishing content in English and presenting it in an appealing manner, both in terms of content and design.
So we started a journal. And I also developed its branding, communication strategy, created a website and designed interactive layouts. I was responsible for the promotion. I also served as an editor.
We managed to publish amazing issues, with visionaries like Judith Butler, Zygmunt Bauman and Kirsten Johnson, whom I was able to interview. We described social phenomena such as the precariat, the Maidan in Ukraine, the Arab Spring, and the evolution of BRICKS countries.
Our editions were visited by tens of thousands of readers from all over the world. A review of the first edition went to the New York Review of Books. All this for the idea, without a penny of funding.
Political Studies Review is one of the flagship journals of the Political Studies Association. As I am strongly committed to research dissemination, I created a comprehensive communications strategy and branding for the journal. I built the website that serves as a hub, gathering all information about the journal and interactive contents.
These include step-by-step publication toolkits, events and workshop announcements, as well as interactive content that I create and produce (podcasts, research-based interviews). Effects? Quality research and content, tens of thousands of downloads and tripling the impact factor.
This is a project created in response to probably the most turbulent year I’ve ever witnessed. When in February 2022 Russia invaded Ukraine, living in London, I was able to help refugees from Ukraine, including my friends, only for a few weeks spent in Poland these days. I created this website (as well as branding and design) as a response to inquiries and my own thoughts in this regard on how to help Ukraine remotely.
It is based on a simple search algorithm gathering a list of established aid organizations or initiatives in Ukraine, Poland, and other countries that support Ukraine. The user can easily find, learn and support aid projects that suit their preferences the most.
RODZINY BEZ GRANIC (FAMILIES WITHOUT BORDERS)
The domain is no longer valid. Starting in August 2021, thousands of people have come to Belarus to get to the EU countries.
I created this website in collaboration with a group of dedicated people. The challenge was to create the simplest, unambiguous messages in many languages, warning about the situation of people who want to decide on this trip.
Pushed and deluded by Aleksandr Lukashenka’s regime, they decide to cross the Polish-Belorussian border illegally, condemning themselves to a harsh, sometimes many-week wander through the Białowieża Forest.
This project taught me not only about transparent, targeted communication, but also about the power of cooperation and sharing skills with committed people.
This is a website and branding for Teatralka, family business in Poznań.
WORKSHOPS, CLASSES AND TRAINING
- I conducted classes with students on visual communication, sustainable development, communication in public safety and many others.
- I led trainings and lectures on publication in Political Studies Review, while also promoting less known forms of scientific articles as the Null Hypothesis or Early Results.
- I deliver trainings and workshops for researchers on contacts with the media and the use of social media.
- I facilitated debates on gender equality in science and – recently at the University of Oxford – on sustainable development in Polish science.
- I delivered lectures for over 500 people, as well as small talks at scientific conferences.
