Students and Faculty at American Studies Colloquium 

The Center for Polish Studies at Daemen College is coordinating a faculty exchange with the American Studies Center (University of Warsaw). This emerged out of conversations between Prof. Wise and Dr. Slawomir Jozefowicz (ASC) during his time as guest lecturer at Daemen College in September 2016.

In spring 2017, Prof. Lisa Parshall (History & Political Science Department) was the first Daemen faculty member to teach at the American Studies Center on this exchange program. She also delivered a lecture as part of the American Studies Colloquium Series.

As part of the faculty exchange program, in fall 2017 Dr. Karolina Krasuska (ASC) co-taught a course with Prof. Wise at Daemen College. She also delivered several public lectures during her stay in Buffalo.
