REFLECTIONS ON LONGTERM FIELDWORK IN POLAND
REFLECTIONS ON LONGTERM FIELDWORK IN POLAND

Summary/Abstract: I went to Poland first in 1977, and most recently in 2016. My relationship with Poland – or with particular Polish places and spaces – has dominated much of my adult life, professionally and personally – in terms of research, academic career, friendship and attachment, kinship and political understanding. I began my fieldwork in Poland in 1977, as a Ph.D. student at the London School of Economics, but the series of events and influences that drew me there went back much further, to my undergraduate studies in Canada in the early 1970s, to my own family history and the political climate in which I grew up.
