Autorenporträt

Ewa Macura- Nnamdi is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Literary Studies, University of Silesia, Poland. Her main research interests revolve around the aesthetics and politics of two issues: refugeehood (and migration more generally) and environmental degradation in the Global South. She examines both phenomena across a cultural archive encompassing literature, film and philosophy. She is currently working on a book titled Law, Refugees and the Sea: Interim Lives (under contract with Routledge) and leading a research grant project titled 'Weathers of the Future: Climate Change and Displacement'. Tomasz Sikora teaches literature, culture and theory at UKEN University, Krakow, Poland. His varied research interests include queer theory, literature and cultural studies, gothic and grotesque, biopolitics, environmental humanities and more. He has published two books: Virtually Wild: Wilderness, Technology and the Ecology of Mediation (2003) and Bodies Out of Rule: Transversal Readings in Canadian Literature and Film (2014). He is one of the founders and editors of InterAlia: A Journal of Queer Studies (interalia.queerstudies.pl).
