Artykuł analizuje wyzwania młodych Polek i Polaków w obszarze mieszkalnictwa. Ramę teoretyczną budują: pojęcie autonomii mieszkaniowej, a także koncepcje słabego państwa i solwatacji społecznej, które odzwierciedlają kryzysową rzeczywistość życia publicznego w Polsce, w której młodzi ludzie wchodzą w dorosłość.

Migration Decisions and Paths in Family Stories of Polish Intergenerational Dyads in Germany
The article addresses migration as a temporally-embedded process, shedding light on the complexity of individual and family trajectories. Through a multi-perspective lens, we examine migration decision- making and constructions of shared migration stories in Polish families in Germany. Previous research, largely focused on economic activity as a driver behind seasonal migration, has obscured the implications of generationality in this destination…
Planning for the future in the shadow of the polycrisis: Young women's uncertain transitions to adulthood
This paper explores the complexities of young women's gendered orientations to the future, contextualised within the realities of a ‘polycrisis’ era of compounded global uncertainties, constituting a formative generational experience. Through an investigation of 31 qualitative interviews with young women living in Poland (ages 18–35), analytically represented by four biographical cases, we explore individual experiences and biographical futures w…

Parenting Expertise during Transitions-to-Motherhood. Exploring Transformations in Knowledge Regimes in Poland
This study explores transformations in parenting expertise in Poland, focusing on maternal knowledge perspectives during transitions-to-motherhood. It combines empirical data from two sociological studies: in-depth interviews (with to-be mothers) and expert interviews (with reproductive medicine practitioners; professionals offering antenatal, perinatal, and postpartum care services; and digital parenting advisors). Based on a thematic analysis, …
Obszar medyczny tranzycji płciowej w słabym państwie: Doświadczenia młodych osób transpłciowych w Polsce
Choć transpłciowość jest tematem obecnym w polskim dyskursie politycznym, nie przekłada się to na polityki wspomagające i wspierające osoby transpłciowe. W artykule omawiamy doświadczenia tranzycji płciowej w obszarze medycznym w Polsce, traktując kontekst słabego państwa jako przestrzeń solwatacji społecznej. W świetle wyników ba- dania jakościowego, w którym realizowano indywidualne wywiady pogłębione z młodymi osobami transpłciowymi, wskazano …
Relationship Between School Bullying Victimization and Social Attachment Patterns in Adulthood
Bullying has long-lasting consequences for mental and physical health as well as relationships, but little is known about how bullying experiences at school-age impact social behaviors–and particularly social attachment–in adulthood. This qualitative study investigates the relationship between experiencing school bullying and social attachment patterns in early adulthood. The analysis comprises a retrospective study of young adults in Poland (n =…
Casual, customized and contemptuous relationships with education: Social solvation and young people's strategies during multi‐crisis
This paper focuses on individual responses to education in crisis, with the strategies of students contextualised and examined within a wider multi‐crisis reality. Offering a conceptual framework of social solvation, the proposed model explains how failures in the education system at the macro (state) and meso (institutional) levels translate into young people's behaviours at the individual (micro) level. Based on the analysis of 26 in‐depth inte…
When feminism does not begin at home. Exploring attitudes to feminism in mother-daughter dyads in Poland
Strach w obliczu wojny w Ukrainie: Osobiste i geopolityczne obawy młodych Polek i Polaków
Russia’s attack on Ukraine has acutely affected the experiences of Polish women and men and has translated into a sense of living in constant danger in a society of risk and fear. Young people who have not yet achieved stability and are less socially anchored, are particularly vulnerable to fear, anxiety, economic degradation and a loss of ontological security. In this context, the article uses quantitative and qualitative data from the ULTAGEN p…
Educational Disadvantages During Covid-19 Pandemic Faced by Migrant Schoolchildren in Poland
Settling into uncertainty and risk amidst the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine
This study explores the process of navigating instability arising from sudden, co-occurring crises in the 2020s. We focus on the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine on growing material and relational uncertainty and risk among Polish citizens, accumulating in the loss of ontological security. To showcase the practical and narrative presence of risk at the micro-level, we operationalize the broad theorization of risk so…
Persistence of Abortion Stigma Inscribed in the Legal Framework: The Case of Abortion Attitudes in Poland
This article offers novel insights into the mechanism of abortion stigma and its pervasive impact on attitudes toward abortion. Specifically, it tracks the impact of the restrictive Polish 1993 law, known as the “abortion compromise,” on attitudes toward pregnancy terminations over three decades, exploring the role of abortion stigma in the observed shifts. Employing data from representative surveys and in-depth interviews with young women, this …
Young people and housing transitions during Covid-19: Navigating co-residence with parents and housing autonomy
Research on housing transitions consistently points out the significance of housing autonomy and stability in young adults’ lives. While the pandemic has arguably exacerbated the already unfavorable conditions in the housing market (in terms of unaffordability and inaccessibility of quality dwellings), it is important to see how young people navigate the challenges of co-residing with parents, leaving home, and establishing housing autonomy, espe…
Since Having a Child, I Finally Feel Like an Adult’: Exploring Intersections of Contemporary Transitions-To-Motherhood and Transitions-To-Adulthood
The paper investigates intersections between two biographical processes, namely the transitions-to-motherhood and transitions-to-adulthood. Considering the research focused on transitions in the modern world, the paper looks at how transitions-to-motherhood are narrated in relation to both the general life situation and ‘objective’ adulthood markers, and the subjective understandings of whether one feels ‘like an adult’. Drawing on a qualitative …
Tracking Friendship Across Space and Time: A Case Study of a Mobile Peer Group
This article explores the dynamics of personal relationships within a geographically mobile, large peer group (PG) over time. Based on a case-study of a PG examined within the broader Qualitative Longitudinal Study (QLS) on ‘Peer Groups & Migration’ in Poland, the analysis focuses on the transformations of friendships from early adolescence to adulthood. The paper sheds light on friendship relationships and gauges strength of bonds over fifteen y…
Educational choices of Polish youth in an intergenerational perspective
This article investigates the parental role in educational decisions of young adults in Poland. The country-context is vital due to the profound impact of the 1989 transition on educational aspirations and subsequent ‘degree boom’ in the younger cohorts. Using data from two qualitative studies, we adopt an intergenerational lens to examine how young men and women are affected by their mothers and fathers when making choices about their educationa…
A Win for the Middle Class? A Qualitative Study Mapping “Benefits” from the National Quarantine
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the life situation in groups of different social status is affected to a dissimilar degree by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on data collected through online individual in-depth interviews conducted in March 2020 as the first wave of a broader qualitative longitudinal research project, we present certain unobvious benefits of the spring quarantine noticed by members of the Polish middle class. These gains w…
Transnational Communication between Children and Grandparents during the Covid-19 Lockdown: The Case of Migrant Children in Poland
Transnational intergenerational communication between migrant children and their grandparents depends on family relationships and the specific migration context, but also shifts in response to emerging factors, such as the current COVID-19 crisis. The goal of this study is to offer an agile typology of communication between migrant children in Poland and their grandparents in other countries. It points to two types of family communication practic…
Resources and pace of leaving home among young adults in Poland
Changes in the intergenerational family relationships are typically seen through the prism of contemporary parents supporting their children long into adulthood, offering their households as 'feathered nests' during extended transitions to adulthood. However, the majority of research in this realm comes from established welfare states of Western Europe and the Commonwealth and less explicitly addresses inequalities that mark these processes. Draw…
Do I deserve to belong? Migrants' perspectives on the debate of deservingness and belonging
The notion of belonging, prominent in social sciences, has been recently used extensively in relation to Central Eastern European migrants in the UK. Whereas the Brexit debates on migration have spotlighted the macro-politics of belonging and the judgments on who deserves to stay and under which conditions, the question of how these discourses of ‘deservingness’ surrounding Brexit may influence the everyday and intimate aspects of belonging among…
Migracja i płeć w cyklach życia rodzinnego
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie i porównanie doświadczeń rodzinności migrantów osiedlonych i tymczasowych na różnych etapach cykli życia rodzin (CŻR), tj. od powstania pary, przez posiadanie i wychowanie potomstwa, aż do fazy schyłkowej rodziny. Przekrojowe spojrzenie na jakościowy materiał empiryczny z trzech projektów badawczych pozwala na aplikację soczewki CŻR do rodzin migracyjnych w kontekście polskim. Sytuacje dwóch typów rodzin nuklearnych, …

Bees & butterflies: Polish migrants' social anchoring, mobility and risks post-Brexit
The result of the Brexit referendum and subsequent uncertainty regarding its actual consequences, particularly for the EU citizens living in the UK, constitutes a major point of reference and a social risk for many Polish migrants. Drawing on two qualitative research projects with a data set of 71 semi-structured interviews, this paper aims at analysing post-Brexit strategies of Polish migrants in Britain, taking into account their anchoring and …
Women on strike: Mobilizing against reproductive injustice in Poland
The paper employs a lens of reproductive justice (RJ) to discuss the events of the 2016 mobilization against a total abortion ban proposal in Poland. By presenting the context of women’s rights in Poland, especially the abortion debates, we argue that the 2016 Women’s Strike showed that taking a stand for reproductive justice was countered by governmental actions. By using a case study approach, the paper analyzes the Strike as a tumultuous act o…
Questionable Insiders: Changing Positionalities of Interviewers throughout Stages of Migration Research
This article addresses methodological issues related to the consequences of researchers' range of insider identities that emerge over the course of completing subsequent stages of qualitative migration research projects. Taking on a temporal approach to the insider status evolving over the course of field entry, data collection, data analysis, and dissemination, this article engages with nuanced insider positionalities. These range from apparent,…
Research on men, masculinities and migration: Past, Present and Future

Migrant men in the nexus of space and (dis)empowerment
This special issue stems from an international workshop on ‘Men and Migration in contemporary Europe’, organized at the Centre for European Research at the University of Gothenburg (CERGU) in June
Multiple masculinities of Polish migrant men
This paper examines the negotiation and re-shaping of multiple mobile masculinities among recent Polish intra-European migrants. It explores the impact of family and cross border relationships with other family members and friends on men’s identities and the enactment of masculinities. Drawing on the data collected for five thematically linked qualitative research studies, we consider voices of men, as well as juxtapose them with the reflections …
Ethnic, gender and class identities of Polish migrant mothers: Intersecting Maternal Narratives With Transnationalism and Integration
Based on a doctoral study of Polish migrant mothers living in Germany and the United Kingdom, this paper examines women's narratives pertinent to ethnicity, gender and social class, as well as the mutual entanglements of these dimensions. While the ethnic identity matrix often evokes dimensions of transnationalism and integration, the addition of the femininity component illustrates the diversity among contemporary Polish migrant women in Western…
Tightening early childcare choices – gender and social class inequalities among Polish mothers in Germany and the UK
Care for young children continues to highly influence the life chances of men and women, even more so when they are migrants. For migrant women, childcare remains a particular challenge when their kin are absent and the gendered norms of work and family life abroad diverge from what they have known in the country of origin. This article contributes to a deeper understanding of social class and childcare strategies of migrant women by combining tw…

Private empowerment and public isolation: Power in the stories of migrant ‘Mother-Poles’
While the lives of migrant women are predominantly portrayed as inherently problematic, limited attention has been given to their experiences of empowerment and disempowerment. The maternal power framework is used in this article to study Polish migrant mothers and their children. Bringing together two studies to showcase an intergenerational perspective of the realms of migrant motherhood, the authors present evidence from (1) the stories of wom…
