Katarzyna Żabicka

I am a doctoral student majoring in Philosophy at the doctoral school of the University of the Commission of National Education in Cracow. I began my adventure with the doctoral school after completing my master’s degree in comparative studies at Jagiellonian University and philosophy at the University of the Commission of National Education in Cracow. My research interests oscillate around the subjects of female mysticism, secularization, as well as suffering and sacrifice occurring in social relations. This is specifically the aspect of female mysticism that I intend to devote my dissertation to. I am also passionate about 19th century Gothic literature and the works of Witold Gombrowicz (especially his dramas).
