Jan Gordziejew

I am a doctoral student at the Doctoral School of the Pedagogical University in Cracow in the discipline of history and a graduate of the Institute of History at the Jagiellonian University, where I defended a thesis entitled “The Belarusian question in the concepts of selected currents of Polish political thought (from the beginning of the XX century to 1921)”.

Currently, the topic of my doctoral dissertation is the borderland town on the example of Hrodna in historical thought and awareness in the XIX and the first half of the XX century. In addition, my interests include issues of historical memory, nationality relations in Central and Eastern Europe, the history of the XIX and XX centuries including political and cultural relations and urban history. I have also been involved in popularising history for many years and have participated in educational and cultural projects
