The ASC’s Gender/Sexuality Research Group is proud to share the third (and final, for now) season of our very own podcast! “Oswoić gender,” hosted by Dr. Anna Kurowicka and Dr. Marta Usiekniewicz, aims to present research in gender and sexuality studies done at the University of Warsaw.
In the eight-episode series we cover topics ranging from the intersection of medical anthropology and gender studies, animal studies and feminist theories as seen by the youngest gender studies researchers, genre literature studies, masculinities in Polish literature, gender and migration, diversity and equality strategies at the university, as well as the challenges of writing histories of problematic queer figures.

Each new episode will be released on Wednesday, announced on the ASC’s social media, and available on platforms including Spotify, Podcasters, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, Google Podcasts, and YouTube. Episodes will be also published on the Gender/Sexuality Research Group’s dedicated website, which will be launched soon.
The aim of this (mostly) Polish language podcast is to acquaint listeners with the diversity of research conducted within gender and sexuality studies. In each episode we show how the issues of gender and sexuality are manifested in cultural and social life. We also promise a good dose of humor and recommendations, because what would a popular science podcast be without homework?
This season will feature a slew of informative and entertaining conversations with Julia Kubisa, Magdalena Radkowska-Walkowicz, and ASC’s own Przemysław Górecki, Aleksandra Malinowska, Anna Grzybowska. Season three includes three book club episodes with Agnieszka Kotwasińska, Karolina Krasuska, and Marta Usiekniewicz herself, who are talking about their new books. The final special episode of the season is an English-language conversation with Huw Lemmey and Ben Miller, author of “Bad Gays: A Homosexual History,” hosts of the Bad gays podcast, and keynote speakers at our upcoming student conference “Status quo/Status queer.”
The podcast was made possible by funding from the “Promotion of scientific research in the public domain” project under the Excellence Initiative Research University program at the University of Warsaw.
Julia Machnowska was responsible for the sound production and editing, while Magdalena Sowul provided the studio space and music.
