On October 23, during the Oral History Seminar, Ms. Karolina Domańska presented an interview from her research on the popularity of American basketball in Poland in the 1990s. She used this research in her master’s thesis, titled The Popularity of American Basketball as a Cultural Phenomenon in Poland during the Transition Period in the 1990s (The Case of the Southwestern Voivodeships), which she wrote under the supervision of Dr. Marta Kurkowska-Budzan, Professor at Jagiellonian University. The thesis was awarded twice.
The Oral History Seminars are co-organized by the Faculty of Culture and Arts at the University of Warsaw, the Qualitative Data Archive at IFiS PAN, and the Polish Oral History Association. The initiative is under the patronage of the “Wrocławski Rocznik Historii Mówionej (Wrocław Yearbook of Oral History)”.
