Dominika Lichańska is a graduate of the University of Łódź’s Department of Sociology, having completed her studies in 2025. The subject’s master’s thesis was dedicated to the study of student-union activists, thereby contributing to the international discourse on the identity of activists, their motivations, personal concerns, and the factors that influence collective resistance.

She is an active participant in the research project entitled Research into the consequences of the ‘shock therapy’ of the 1990s for contemporary opportunities for the development of science and higher education in Poland, which is being led by Prof. Krystian Szadkowski. In the course of this project, she is conducting a historical-archival analysis with a particular focus on examining the themes of primitive accumulation affecting the expropriation of students from the university space.

Her research interests lie in the field of grassroots social organisations, feminist criticism of the sex trade, social inequalities, and political discourses surrounding the world of work.
