Agata Blaszczyk is currently head of Institute of Research into Migration Studies of the Polish University Abroad (PUNO) in London. She is a university teacher in history and sociology with solid experience in the UK and abroad. Her research examines the political implications of the passing of the Polish Resettlement Bill in March 1947 (the first ever mass immigration legislation adopted by the British parliament) and how the original refugees formed much of the Polish community as it exists today. She also carries out research on the Polish Resettlement Camps in the UK after WW2.
