    Awans społeczny a relacje rodzinne w biografiach akademików z klas ludowych
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Łuczaj, Kamil; Kurek-Ochmańska, Olga Małgorzata
    This article refers to problems that have not been explored in the Polish research space so far, namely educational opportunities and career paths for academics from working classes. The basic source of data in this article are narrative biographical interviews with academics employees of Polish universities who, coming from a family with modest intellectual traditions, and scarce social, cultural and economic capital, have managed to achieve success in the scientific world. The main research question is: how is the configuration of various types of capital accumulated in the family related to the development of an academic career in Poland? The authors of the article propose the dissemination of new theoretical concepts: »anti-capital of a family« and »upward cultural capital«.

    Emerytowani pracownicy naukowi – okoliczności towarzyszące przejściu w stan spoczynku
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Maksymowicz, Agata
    In today’s world, particularly in Europe, the issue of aging is of significant interest for social researchers. Increased life expectancy, advances in medicine, and declining birth rates mean that we live in an increasingly aging society. The subject of this article is the circumstances surrounding the retirement of academic employees from universities in Krakow. This particular stage of a person’s life signifies the end (often gradual) of what is usually a several-decades-long professional career. How do retired scholars perceive this period, is the decision to retire made independently by the scholars themselves, what assistance do they receive during this special time, and how do they prepare for this new stage of life? These questions are part of a broader research project conducted by a team of four staff members from the Faculty of Humanities at AGH University of Krakow.
