Zofia Wlodarczyk

I am a Ph.D Candidate in the Department of Sociology with designated emphasis in Human Rights. Currently, my research focuses on the experiences of female refugees fleeing domestic violence in the time of political conflict. I study how different forces on micro (family dynamics), meso (social networks and institutions) and macro (political conflict, cultural norms) levels influence women’s decision to flee their abusers. Previously my work focused on the agency of rural women in Poland and Polish feminist movements.
