City College of New York Professor of Film and Digital Media Andrzej Krakowski has received many accolades over his nearly six decade career. The latest is recognition as an Outstanding Pole Abroad, one of Poland’s most prestigious non-governmental awards. The world-famous director was given the honor by the Poland Now Foundation in recognition for his research in film history highlighting the Polish roots of the American film industry. The ceremony took place at the Consulate of Republic of Poland in New York.  Recently Krakowski has also been elected to the Board of Directors of the Foundation for Development of the Polish National Film School (PWSFTviT) in Lodz. Among the past directors of the Foundation, which was created in 1970 and has the leading role in the future direction of the School’s expansion, are such great directors as Andrzej Wajda and Wojciech Jerzy Has, among others.  Krakowski’s election was “recognition for your competence and professional achievements, as well as your involvement in the activities of the Polish National Film School,” said Dr. Hab Milenia Fiedler, the School’s director.  A PWSFTviT alumnus, Krakowski was stripped of his Polish citizenship and barred from returning to the country for alleged anti-government activities after accepting an American film scholarship in 1968. He returned to his native land after the fall of communism and earned his Ph.D. from PWSFTviT, considered one of the top five film schools in the world, in 2014. “I’m very humbled by this honor. To the best of my knowledge, I will be the first board member residing abroad and definitely the first CUNY faculty member,” said Krakowski. “I must admit that I find it amazing that the country that expelled me in 1968 now embraces me in such a warm way.”   Source: CUNY Other News Annual Meeting 2025 – NYC Columbia University Annual Meeting 2025 – NYC Columbia University • September 29, 2024 Newsletter Vol. 4, No. 4 October 2024 Newsletter Vol. 4, No. 4 October 2024 • September 27, 2024 Donation of the “Tatrzański Orzeł/The Tatra Eagle” Donation of the “Tatrzański Orzeł/The Tatra Eagle” • September 21, 2024 Forgotten Polish Oscar Winners by Prof. Andrzej Krakowski Forgotten Polish Oscar Winners by Prof. Andrzej Krakowski • September 16, 2024 1 2 3 … 43 Next » Navigation Home About Us membership conferences Awards Publications Archives Library Contact Contact Us 208 East 30th St. New York, NY 10016 +1 (212) 686-4164piasany@gmail.com DONATION Get Connected Facebook-f Instagram Youtube Envelope Co-financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland

9th World Congress – Call for Papers

Annual Meetings, Lecture /

PIASA News & Events about us MEMBERSHIP CONFERENCES AWARDS PUBLICATIONS Current Events CONTACT Call for Papers PIASA invites proposals for its 9th World Congress to be held at Collegium Civitas in Warsaw, Poland June 7-9, 2024 The Polish Institute of Arts & Sciences of America (PIASA) is pleased to invite proposals for its 9th World Congress, which will be hosted by Collegium Civitas in Warsaw’s Palace of Culture and Science from June 7-9, 2024. Proposals are solicited for complete in-person sessions or individual papers in any of the disciplines in the humanities, social sciences, or business/economics. The general theme of the conference is “Poland in the World,” for which Warsaw, the Polish capital and major European financial, commercial, political, and cultural center is a most appropriate setting. At the same time, Collegium Civitas, a non-public higher education institution with an international student body and strong academic traditions in diplomacy, international relations, sociology, media, and security studies, is well positioned to host the congress at its location in the iconic Palace of Culture in Warsaw’s city center. The Congress also coincides with various anniversaries of international significance, the 35th anniversary of Poland’s political transformation, the 25th anniversary of Poland’s accession to NATO, and the 20th anniversary of Poland’s joining the European Union. Therefore, we particularly welcome panel and paper proposals which address the continental and global interactions that have affected Poland and the multinational peoples that have inhabited its various territories over time, their cultural impacts, and Poland’s current and past roles in world affairs. In line with the international emphasis of the Congress, sessions including presenters from more than one country are also encouraged. Since we value comparative sessions that place the Polish and East Central European experience in context, papers need not focus specifically on Poland or Polish themes. Finally, papers do not necessarily have to address the main conference theme and are welcome for consideration in separate and cohesive panels. Each session is scheduled for 90 minutes to accommodate three papers or about 20 minutes per paper, with suitable time left for discussion. As the conference language is English, all panel and paper submissions are expected to be in that language. All conference rooms will be equipped with AV for PowerPoint presentations. Presenters are invited to submit their final conference papers to be considered for possible publication in The Polish Review after the conference. To submit a paper or complete session, please send the name, e-mail address, institutional affiliation, tentative paper title and brief one-paragraph abstract for each presenter to program organizers Patrice Dabrowski at pmd639@g.harvard.edu and Neal Pease at pease@uwm.edu. The deadline for proposals is February 1, 2024, though earlier submissions are welcome since capacity is limited.  All participants are encouraged to pay the conference pre-registration fee of $100, discounted to $50 for students, by May 10, 2024, as the conference fees will increase after that date. Pre-conference tours, lodging options, keynote plenary and banquet speakers, and locations for the Friday evening reception and the Saturday evening awards banquet will be announced later.
