dr Anita Brzozowska

Anita Brzozowska is a sociologist specialising in labour and family migration, integration and socio-economic mobility with a strong focus on the methodology of social sciences. Her work often bridges sociological insights with social policy perspectives, contributing to a deeper understanding of migration dynamics in Central and Eastern Europe. As a researcher at the Centre of Migration Research, University of Warsaw, she has been involved in many projects funded by national and international sources that use the lens of migration to examine the pan-European labour market dynamics and employment relations, focusing on areas such as posting of workers, migrants’ aspirations, and employer interest representation across different socio-political contexts.

In 2019 she defended her PhD thesis, titled “Intermarriage, social structure, and integration of migrants. The case of Polish-Ukrainian marriages in Poland” (summa cum laude) at the Faculty of Philosophy and Sociology, University of Warsaw. The dissertation was awarded the Joanna Matejko Award in 2020 for the best PhD thesis on the topic of international migration from and to Poland and the Polish diaspora under the patronage of the Committee on Migration Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The thesis was subsequently published by the University of Warsaw Press.

In 2023, she was a Dekaban fellow at the University of Glasgow. Anita has served as an editor of the “CMR Working Papers” series (2018-2021), International Relations Coordinator at the Centre of Migration Research (2022), and Coordinator of the Organisation Committee for the 20th IMISCOE Annual Conference, “Migration and Inequalities: In Search of Answers and Solutions,” held in Warsaw in 2023. She is a member of the Polish Sociological Association and IMISCOE.
