Bozena Karwowska

(Assistant Professor)
CENES, UBC

Assistant Professor Bozena Karwowska's recent research focuses on the representation of the human body and gender in the context of Nazi Concentration camps from the perspective of Polish Holocaust survivors. In her former research, she combined Gender Studies and Slavic Studies with a focus on Polish culture. Her fields of interest include the literary representation of women in Slavic literatures (especially Russian and Polish) as well as issues involved in the communication between groups with different "common memories" and questions of intercultural mediation. .
