Two years of work by the ERC StG team

On the occasion of the second anniversary of the ERC Starting Grant project “Recycling the German Ghosts. Resettlement Cultures in Poland, Czechia and Slovakia after 1945 (SPECTRAL RECYCLING)” (no. 101041946), the research team has prepared a summary of the activities carried out to date.

Their research involves queries in national and local archives as well as ethnographic fieldwork in three selected regions, namely Pomerania in Poland, Northern Bohemia in Czechia, and Upper Nitra Basin in Slovakia. In the initial two years of the project, researchers successfully gathered nearly 200 interviews. This dataset encompasses both oral history interviews and ethnographic approaches. The research team spent many hours looking for the relevant documents in the archives, talking with interview partners, documenting the material objects being studied, and exploring the locations they investigated.

The team led by Dr Karolina Ćwiek-Rogalska actively disseminates the results of its research through participation in radio shows, podcasts and open events, thus effectively reaching a wide audience, including those outside the academic community.

We invite you to visit the project website, where you can read more about the summary of the team’s work so far and follow the researchers’ activities on social media.

The project will last until 2027. We wish you good luck and keep our fingers crossed for further successes!

EU grant Fellow at the Institute of Slavic Studies PAS

We are pleased to announce that from 1 September this year, as part of the EU scholarship, Dr. Sergei Mudrov will carry out a project at the Institute of Slavic Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences entitled “Church-State Relations in the Post-Communist World: the Cases of Belarus, Poland and Ukraine”. The project supervisor on behalf of the Institute will be the director, dr hab. Ewa Golachowska, prof. ISS PAS.

This research will analyse how Church-State relations in Belarus, Poland and Ukraine were developing after the fall of communism, in a comparative perspective. Within this broader area, it aims at identifying specifically (1) the principal transformative mechanisms and key changes, in the context of the theoretical approaches towards Church-State relations, and (2) the response from religious organisations and state bodies to crucial developments and key events in the areas which are of interest and importance to ecclesiastical structures. For this research, Dr. Mudrov is going to use the three-model approach towards Church-State relations, with the identification of the state Church model, the cooperationist (or hybrid), and the secular (or separation) models. This classification is supported by most scholars working in this field (i.e. Haynes, Leustean, Coughlin, etc.), although the variations within each model has also been noted (i.e. Francis, Minkenberg).

The concrete cases for the analysis have been selected with the view of reflecting the key interests of churches and state, and the salient aspects in the interaction of these institutions. These have included (1) the area of education, especially secondary education; (2) the area of migration, including the assistance to migrants and refugees.

The researcher’s stay will last until June 2025. The project is financed by the European Commission grant (number: NDICI-GEO-NEAR_2022_434-092-0029).
