Join CSEEES' Polish Studies Initiative (PSI) and Dr. Diana Sacilowski (Department for Slavic and East European Languages and Cultures) for a special roundtable exploring the lives and experiences of members of the Polish diaspora in the U.S. and abroad.
This roundtable brings together various individuals of the Polish diaspora--known as Polonia--to examine various and varied experiences of international migration, of settling in a new country, and of maintaining connections with Poland and Polish heritage. Join us as participants discuss the various processes and reasons for migration (political, economic, and personal), offer insight into the experience of having a hyphenated identity, whether Polish-American, Polish-Dutch, Polish-Canadian, or otherwise, as well as provide a glimpse into Polonia communities around the world and their work and influence.
