Migracje pod wpływem zmian klimatu w kontekście nierówności społecznych
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2025) Krywult-Albańska-Małgorzata
The aim of the paper is to summarize research on the connections between human mobility and climate change. The first part discusses selected social consequences of climate change, especially those with potential impact on migrations (including rising sea levels, epidemiological threats and temperature changes). Emphasis has been placed on factors which make certain populations and subgroups thereof vulnerable to climate change, depending on their position in the social structure. In the second part, the paper discusses unequal impacts and unequal contribution to the climate crisis in the context of climate justice. The main part highlights key features of environmental migrations and their connections with social inequalities. This type of mobility constitutes an adaptive strategy employed in a particular social and economic context and depending on one’s place in the social structure.

Powroty polskich naukowców. Raport z badań
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2015) Durlik-Marcinkowska, Joanna; Grzymała-Moszczyńska, Joanna; Kałwak, Weronika; Łukowska, Marta; Żymełka, Anna; Wierzchoń, Michał
The report concerns motivations of Polish scientists to migrate. In the two-stage study (semi-structured interviews, computer-assisted web interview) we identified the most important factors motivating Polish scientists to leave the country, and stay abroad, or to return to Poland. In the analysis we take into account differences in motivations due to gender, scientific discipline, migration status (i.e. whether a participant returned to Poland, is going to return or not) and the stage of the career at which the participant left Poland. We revealed that the most important factors motivating to leave and stay abroad are bureaucratic and financial constraints in Polish academia, as well as overload with non-scientific duties on Polish universities. It appeared that getting a satisfying job offer in Poland or a research grant in Poland would convince Polish scientists the most to come back and continue scientific career in Poland. Additionally, the report presents system solutions potentially encouraging the Polish scientists to return to Poland.

Przemiana i ciągłość kulturowa polskiej kuchni w ponowoczesnym świecie. Relacje między czasem wolnym a konsumpcją i stylem życia
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2023) Garstka-Szychta, Ewa Karolina
The effort of meeting the »Other« is undertaken through all life (e.g. in the case of migration, which is a partial departure from one culture to another). In a situation of migration, an individual confronts the identity coming from the primary culture, shaped in the country of origin, with new forms of behaviour acquired in the current situation. Some of the old patterns, primarily related to the explicit culture (language, ways of spending free time), and partly to the hidden culture (ways of thinking), are changing. Certain contents concerning the hidden dimension (values, attitudes) remain a permanent element of emotional identification. The sense of separateness in an unknown environment, affects the type of meals chosen by migrants. Culinary patterns become an element of the localization process in the progressive cultural unification. This article presents the way in which culinary patterns become »external« elements of contemporary individual, social and collective identities of young Polish migration in Ireland. The table metaphorically becomes an element that helps to find oneself in a foreign reality of the host country.

Skandynawskie migracje w epoce Wikingów
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2011) Duczko, Władysław
Movements of Scandinavians in period between late 8th AD to middle of 11th AD, called Viking Age, were combined military actions-piracy – and migrations with goal to colonize territories in the West Europe – mainly Insular world of Atlantic and British isles, but also in East Europe, among Finno-Ugrians and Slavs. This activity is seen as the recent, and last, of the Migration Period, the time of great movements of Germanic people in the 4th century AD.

Umiejętność pisania w języku polskim jako drugim u uczniów z doświadczeniem migracji w polskiej szkole – kontekst i przegląd teoretyczny
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2025) Łoś, Kinga
The article presents a literature‑based review and identifies the principal challenges involved in fostering writing proficiency in Polish as a second language among upper‑secondary students with migration experience. The introductory section delineates the scale and dynamics of recent migration to Poland, paying particular attention to its repercussions for the school system. The subsequent theoretical section clarifies key constructs – Polish as a second language, the language of schooling (Język Edukacji Szkolnej, JES), and Cummins’s BICS/CALP model – underscoring the stringent linguistic demands that JES imposes on learners’ writing development. Later sections synthesise current research on writing and document the specific obstacles faced by migrant students, including cross‑linguistic interference, limited access to genre‑appropriate models, and assessment practices that insufficiently accommodate their linguistic profiles. The article concludes with practice‑oriented recommendations for educators and researchers and calls for further empirical studies aimed at devising effective instructional and systemic solutions.
