Biography
I have joined the University of Aberdeen in 2009 as a post-doctoral researcher in Academic Urology Unit, School of Medicine and Dentistry. Since March 2013 I hold a joint appointment with the University of Aberdeen Business School. I completed a MA degree in sociology in the Institute of Applied Social Sciences, University of Warsaw, and undertook a PHD work in the Department of Sociology, Lancaster University.

Research Interests
My research interests combine different disciplinary traditions (cultural and medical sociology, literary criticism, cultural studies, social studies of science, technology and medicine) and different theoretical approaches (poststructuralist and postcolonial theory, material semiotics), and centre on the issues related to knowledge-making and social and cultural identities.
I work with broadly construed ethnographic methods, and have particular interest in methodological heterogeneity and the performativity of research methods.
