New publication co-authored by a WNPiSM doctoral student, published by Routledge
A monograph titled “Coping and Adaptation in Times of Exodus – Venezuelan Migration Decisions and Strategies” has been published by the prestigious Routledge publishing house. The publication is co-authored by Agnieszka Olter-Castillo, a doctoral student of Professor Ryszard Szarfenberg, Ph.D., D.Sc., at the Department of Methodology of Political Research, Faculty of Political Science and International Studies (WNPiSM).
The book is an interdisciplinary study of the migration crisis in Venezuela – one of the most significant South-South population movements in recent decades. The work is based on the results of the research project MICLACAS (Migration Crisis in Latin America: Coping and Adaptation Strategies of Venezuelan Migrants and Their Families).
The monograph analyzes the decision-making processes behind migration and the coping and adaptation strategies adopted by Venezuelan migrants and their families. The uniqueness of the publication lies in combining the perspectives of migrants residing in Peru, their relatives remaining in Venezuela, and host communities in destination countries.
The publication is the result of collaboration among the following researchers:
- Marcin Stonawski, Ph.D., D.Sc., Professor (Cracow University of Economics, MICLACAS project leader),
- Karolina Sobczak-Szelc, Ph.D. (Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw, Cracow University of Economics),
- Katarzyna Górska, Ph.D. (Institute of American Studies and Polish Diaspora, Jagiellonian University),
- Agnieszka Olter-Castillo (doctoral student at WNPiSM, University of Warsaw),
- Silvana Gómez, Ph.D. (lawyer and human rights expert, Latin American Culture Centre in Poland),
- Jan Brzozowski, Ph.D., D.Sc., Professor (Institute of European Studies, Jagiellonian University).
