Ph.D. Aleksandra Oniszczuk
Biography
I graduated in History from the University of Warsaw (2010, prima cum laude diploma) and in Law from the University of Wrocław (2013). Moreover, I completed a broad university course on Jewish Studies at the Centre for Jewish Languages and Culture, University of Wrocław (2013). My PhD thesis in History, defended at the University of Wroclaw (2016), concerned the policy of the Duchy of Warsaw towards the Jews.
In 2011–2015 I was a member of the History Laboratory at the Institute of Educational Research in Warsaw, working on historical competencies of students of primary and secondary schools.
Research interests: social, cultural, and political history, history of Jews, disability history, history didactics.
