Katarzyna Stasicka

I am a PhD candidate in the field of social sciences, within the discipline of pedagogy, at the Doctoral School of the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków.
I completed my Master’s degree in 2025 in social and care pedagogy and pedagogical therapy at the University of the National Education Commission in Kraków. I defended my Master’s thesis entitled “Sense of Meaning in Life and the Integration of the Noös, Soma, and Psyche Domains in Generation Z.”
My research interests are focused on Generation Z. I am currently preparing my doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Dr hab. Ireneusz Świtała, Professor at UKEN. In my research, I concentrate on the analysis of intergenerational trauma and examine its impact on the upbringing and education of Generation Z. Drawing on contemporary psychological and pedagogical research tools as well as the lived experiences of Gen Z individuals, I am developing an original pedagogical framework aimed at addressing current educational and upbringing-related challenges.
In my personal life, I am interested in fashion, enjoy traveling, and value spending time with others.
