Biography

Kasia Jezowska is a historian specializing in modern Poland, with a research focus on cultural exchanges in Eastern Europe and the material cultures of state socialism. Her academic interests also encompass aspects of design history and theory, particularly how design interacts with broader cultural, social, and economic processes. At UNSW, she teaches a variety of courses on Design History and Theory and is keen to welcome PhD candidates interested in the cultural aspects of Central and Eastern Europe, the Cold War, and design exhibition histories. Her forthcoming book, 'Socialist Design: Modern Things and Cultural Diplomacy in Cold War Poland', explores the intersection of material culture and international politics during the communist era. Jezowska’s research is also expanding into environmental histories in Central Eastern Europe, including a project tentatively entitled 'Coal Nation: Carbon Culture', which aims to examine the cultural history of coal and its representations in trade fairs and exhibitions. Her significant research contributions have been supported by various fellowships and awards, including from the British Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Wayne Vucinich Fellowship at Stanford University.
