Biography
Majewska studied philosophy, French literature and gender studies at the University of Warsaw, Poland. She completed her doctorate on philosophical concepts of the family at the University of Warsaw in 2007. SInce 2003 she has been a lecturer in gender studies at the university.[2][3]
From 2011 to 2013 she was a professor at the Institute of Culture at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland, followed by two years as a visiting fellow at the Institute of Human Sciences in Vienna, Austria and a further two years (2014 to 2016) at ICI Berlin.[2] She has also lectured on political and social philosophy at the University of Szczecin.[citation needed]
Her philosophical work is situated in the perspective of a broadly understood critical theory, stretched between the classical works of the Frankfurt School and the work of Gilles Deleuze and socialist feminism. Her investigations usually concern the issues of freedom and power, and topics such as gender, family, borders and migration, media - areas where people are particularly exposed to power and where there are opportunities for resistance and rebellion. These analyses can be understood as an effort to create tools that direct social imagination towards emancipation.[citation needed]
Her current research is in Hegel's philosophy, focusing on the dialectics and the weak, feminist critical theory and antifascist cultures. Her next book, Feminist Antifascism. Counterpublics of the Common, will be published by Verso in 2021.[4]
She volunteered for the Polish IndyMedia and worked in the women's section of the Committee for Assistance and Defense of Repressed Workers. She is also the author of a report on violence against women in the family and intimate relations for the Polish branch of Amnesty International (2005).[5][non-primary source needed] She is currently active in the "Towards Girls" association and the initiative for freedom in culture Index 73. Until 2014 she is a member of the Women's Agreement of 8 March.[citation needed]
In 2004, together with Aleksandra Polisiewicz, she formed the duo Syreny TV.[6] It produced documentaries from a series of Warsaw demonstrations and the project All Forward to the Extreme Right (2005). This film is a record of conversations revolving around the analogy between Poland of 2005 and the Weimar Republic. It was screened in Weimar at the festival Attention, Polen Kommen! (2005) and at exhibitions in Warsaw and Gdańsk.[7]
Politics
In the years 2015-2018 she was a member of the social-democratic Polish political party, Lewica Razem (Left Together), and occupied positions on the party's supervising committee and national council. In the parliamentary elections in 2015, she ran for the Sejm in the Warsaw district from 26th place on the Total List.[8] As part of the party, she participated in the work of the statutory commission, and co-created the 'Together for Culture' programme. In May 2016, she was elected to the party's national audit committee and in June 2017 to the national council.[9] Since the end of 2018 she is no longer a party member.
