About Me

Aleksandra’s current research focuses on understanding the long-term effects of environmental decisions made in the nineteenth century on the present, especially in relation to forest management and petroleum extraction in central Europe. She also studies the impact of intercontinental migration on the production, circulation, transfer, and acceptance of scientific knowledge across regions -primarily between Latin America and the partitioned Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. She co-convenes the Mining Conversations | The Futurepasts of … series, hosted by the Max Planck Institute of Geoanthropology & Anthropocene Commons. Her work demonstrates the value of transdisciplinary practice for enriching historical scholarship.
