Marysia Galbraith is a cultural anthropologist with research interests in national and ethnic identity, East and Central Europe, and globalization.
As a researcher, I am primarily interested in practice-based, bottom-up expressions of national belonging. By training and by inclination, I am curious about the psychological dimension of cultural experience, especially the perspectives of particular individuals as they negotiate their positionality within the broader cultural milieu. My earlier research focused on Polish national identity in relation to post-communist reforms and European integration.
