Percepcja kształtu Europy przez uchodźców. przypadek z Kos
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2025) Padło, Tomasz
In 2016, 49 migrants on the Greek island of Kos were asked to draw a map of Europe. The study was enriched with observations of refugees’ behavior and several free-form interviews conducted on the Hungarian-Serbian and Macedonian-Greek borders. Analysis of the obtained sketch maps revealed a clear West-centrism, spatial egocentrism, the influence of the “road” experience on the perception of space, and a linear perception of space, reminiscent of historical maps of pilgrimage routes.

The dynamics and orientation of changes in the attitude of Poles towards immigrants (refugees or non-refugees) and their links to terrorism over the last decades
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2019) Malinowski Rubio, María Paula
Several years ago, the attitude of Poles' towards immigrants, both immigrants in general and refugees, seemed more open than nowadays. A cautious analysis of surveys carried out over the last decades by the Polish Public Opinion Research Centre (CBOS), among others regarding Poles’ opinions about immigrants, refugees, terrorism, and their attitude towards other nations, as well as the analysis of results of polls conducted by the European Statistical Office (Eurostat), including a review of the public discourse around immigration, makes it possible to draw some important conclusions, although not without any objections. Firstly, it confirms that the attitude has changed, becoming slightly more negative, particularly over the last three years. Secondly, the analysis indicates that such an attitude is probably not as negative as it could seem from the results of CBOS nation-wide surveys since 2015. Finally, it shows the immense impact on the very attitude and perception thereof from both Polish political discourse around immigration, and the way immigration is presented by the mass media, often in relation to terrorism.
