Abstrakt

As the world today faces various contingencies connected with the results of the global pandemic, multiple economic challenges, military conflicts, and a major environmental crisis, the University Ignatianum in Krakow has offered a new academic platform to exchange opinions and ideas regarding the transformation occurring in the contemporary world. In this spirit, the Organising Committee (dr Sylwia Janina Wojciechowska; dr Agnieszka Cierpich-Kozieł; and dr Aleksandra Kamińska), with the assistance of the Advisory Board (dr hab. Anna Bugajska, prof. AIK; dr hab. Krystyna Zabawa, prof. AIK; dr hab. Gerard Kilroy, prof. AIK; dr hab. Grażyna Maria Teresa Branny; dr Dominika Ruszkiewicz; dr Marek Liszka), as the staff members of the Institute of Modern Languages UIK, had the pleasure to introduce a new series of international conferences to be held cyclically at the Jesuit University Ignatianum in Krakow. The Transformations Conferences will provide a discussion platform for literary and culture scholars as well as linguists specialising in the field of Anglophone studies, with each edition centred around a different topic.
