Experience
My areas of expertise are anglophone literatures including minority literatures, dialectal literatures and experimental writings as well as Cultural Studies with their numerous branches and reflections of culture in language. I am particularly fond of Translation Studies as they are constantly developing and interlacing with many other disciplines. My PhD dissertation combines Translation Studies, Literary Studies and linguistics. Challenges motivate me and diverse environment provides stimulation for imagination and further development. I have worked with international students from four continents and I find it immensely interesting how different cultures interact with one another. I was a teacher at university for 4 years and I was responsible for teaching students at English Department, attending conferences and organizing events. I also held a position of an English Language Coach and Translator in Bitron Poland (appliance and automotive sector) for 8 years running individual and group classes for adults as well as translating documents and correspondence.
