Filip Sitek

PhD student at the Doctoral School of the University of the National Education Commission in Krakow, in the discipline of history. I graduated studies I and II in the same discipline at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow.

My main research interests focus on 19th-century Polish emigration, especially overseas emigration. I have already written on this theme in my master’s thesis: Poles in the first years of the Australian gold rush. In turn, in my doctoral dissertation, I would like to focus on the analysis of the life and activities of a Polish traveler, emigrant, journalist and writer – Sygurd Wiśniowski.

Apart from that scientific research on 19th-century Polish emigration, I also undertake activities aimed at popularizing this issue by publishing popular science articles on this topic.
