Profesor Maria Wieruszewska-Adamczyk w Uniwersytecie Łódzkim

Abstract

The Jubilarian firmly believes that her hometown is Łódź, her home university is the University of Łódź, and her home research unit is the Chair of Etnography at the Łódź University. Professor Wieruszewska-Adamczyk was related to the University of Łódź twice. First, in the period between 1960–1971 she was studying and working on her PhD in the Chair of Ethnography, then, between 1998–2013, as a professor in the Chair of Ethnology (the Institute of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology). Professor Wieruszewska-Adamczyk’s interdisciplinary approach to rural problems was crystallized and strengthened initially in the Chair of Ethnography at the UŁ and then, in the PAS Institute of Rural Development and Agriculture. The area of her interest was the methodology being a creative combination of ethnological and sociological perspectives as well as a joint approach to cultural issues (traditionally connected with ethnography) and social issues (commonly related to sociology)
