Biography

Elżbieta H. Oleksy is a Professor and Founding Director of Women’s Studies Centre, University of Lodz, Poland.

Through the performance of narration, this remarkable book demonstrates how subjectivity can be grasped as lived experience shaped by—and shaping—its physical, political, and socio-cultural contexts.

It is essential reading for anyone interested in genuinely breaking the bounds of methodology, teaching practice, and narration within the social sciences and the humanities.
