Senior Research Associate

Dr Joanna Jasiewicz has been a postdoctoral fellow at the Bremen International Graduate School of Social Sciences. She earned her PhD in Sociology at the University of Barcelona in 2010 (summa cum laude). The thesis explored the link between ethnic political mobilization in Poland, European Integration, and transnational networks. The dissertation’s findings reveal that domestic discursive opportunity structures channel the impact of supranational institutions. Meanwhile, transnational networks mitigate the constraining effect of the domestic setting by providing actors with resources located beyond the boundaries of the nation-state. Joanna worked as an academic tutor in the Master’s program at the Instituto Barcelona de Estudios Internacionales (IBEI). She was also involved in the project “Divergent reactions to globalization: Advanced economies and the NAFTA and EU enlargement projects” led by Prof. Juan Díez Medrano. She was a visiting researcher at the EUI, Florence in spring 2008. Her research interests cover political and cultural sociology, ethnic mobilization, transnational civil society activism, European integration, and social networks.
