Tomasz Kamusella FRHistS (born 1967) is a Polish scholar pursuing interdisciplinary research in language politics, nationalism and ethnicity.[1]

Education[edit]

Kamusella was educated at the University of Silesia in Katowice, Faculty of Philology in Sosnowiec Campus (English language), Poland; Potchefstroom University (now part of the North-West University), Potchefstroom, South Africa;[2][3] and the Central European University (co-accredited then by the Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom), Prague Campus,[4] Czech Republic. He obtained his doctor degree in Political Science from the Institute of Western Affairs (Instytut Zachodni), Poznań, Poland and habilitation in Cultural Studies from the Warsaw School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Warsaw, Poland.[5]

Academic career[edit]

In 1994/95, he taught in the Language Teachers' Training College (Nauczycielskie Kolegium Języków Obcych), Opole, Poland, and between 1995 and 2007 at the University of Opole, Opole, Poland.[6][7] From 2002 to 2006, he did postdoctoral research in the European University Institute, Florence, Italy; the John W. Kluge Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., United States;[8] the Institute for Human Sciences (Institut für die Wissenschaften vom Menschen (IWM)), Vienna, Austria;[9] and the Herder-Institut (de), Marburg, Germany. As visiting professor, in 2007–10, he taught Central and Eastern European History and Polish History and Politics in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland,[10][11] in 2010–11 at the Cracow University of Economics, Kraków, Poland;[12] and in 2011 did research in the Slavic Research Center,[13] Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.[14] Currently, he teaches in the School of History (Centre for Transnational and Spatial History[15]) at the University of St Andrews, St Andrews, Fife, Scotland.[16]

In 2004 Opole Voivodeship politicians opposed his publication of "Regional Glossary of the Opolskie Voivodeship" which included the interpretation that "Silesia was part of the eastern German lands under the temporary administration of Poland and the USSR 1945-1991". A criminal complaint was lodged with the Polish prosecutor who declined to take the case as there was no premise for the crime.[17] The board of the University of Opole's Faculty of Philology formally distanced itself from the theories propagated by Kamusella in a press release, alleging methodological inadequacies, tendentious conclusions and "polonophobia", among others, in his historical research.[18][19][20] According to Kamusella, these accusations were unsubstantiated.[21][22][23] Kamusella claimed that in the Glossary he only presented the official doctrine accepted in West Germany before 1992.[24]

Career in civil service[edit]

In 1996, he was employed as the regional Plenipotentiary on European Integration to the Regional Governor (Pełnomocnik Wojewody ds. Integracji Europejskiej) in the Regional Authority (Urząd Wojewódzki), Opole.[25] Later, from 1999 to 2002, he acted as Advisor on International Affairs to the Regional President (Doradca Marszałka ds. Współpracy z Zagranicą), Self-Governmental Regional Authority (Urząd Marszałkowski), Opole. In co-operation with the University of Opole, between 1997 and 2001, he managed the application in the Council of Europe, and financing that led to the establishment of the European Documentation Center in Opole.[26]
