Jakub Wydra, MA

I am a graduate of the Interfaculty Individual Studies in Humanities at the Jagiellonian University (MA in Management and Quality) and the Culture and Media Management Studies at the JU Institute of Culture. I am currently preparing my dissertation under the “Society of the Future” program at JU Doctoral School in the Social Sciences. My research focuses on the interdisciplinary issues of climate change adaptation and the broadening the discourse of the social sciences towards posthumanist perspectives. At the moment, I am conducting research on urban management in the face of a hyperobject - climate catastrophe. 

I am a member of the international Humanistic Management Network and the Climate Council of the Jagiellonian University. I am also active art critic and futurological journalist; in the past I was professionally engaged in the visual arts industry. 

The research projects I have been involved in address the adaptation of management to the challenges of today: whether in the context of climate change or supporting value-driven business. I have also had the opportunity to explore the subject of accessibility for people with disabilities and to be part of a team investigating core values in the self-identification of the academic community.

Among my research interests are all of the above-mentioned themes: the social issues of climate change, resilient urban and university management, the philosophies of posthumanism and animal studies. I like cats and green tea.
