Exploring justice, healing, and imagination through interdisciplinary inquiry.
Agnieszka’s research weaves together arts-based methodologies, decolonial knowledge systems, and community-engaged scholarship.
She explores how creative expression intersects with holistic learning, racial and social justice, and ecological regeneration. Through both academic and non-academic writing, she contributes to conversations on art as a site of resistance, embodied learning, and the politics of care. Her work often emerges from collaborative and participatory approaches, centering voices and perspectives that challenge dominant ways of knowing.
