BIO

Prof. Bogumiła Kaniewska graduated in Polish Studies from the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. She obtained her professorship based on the monograph “Narratives: On the prose of Wiesław Myśliwski”. In her research work, she is primarily focused on 20th-century literature, translation theory, and literature for children.

She supervised – as part of the EPICUR consortium – the preparation of a proposal that resulted in UAM being awarded the status of a European University.
