Wiktor Magdziarz is a student of the MSc International Social and Public Policy programme at London School of Economics and Political Science, Senior Fellow in Humanity in Action Poland and a recent graduate in sociology within Inter-Faculty Individual Studies in the Humanities framework (MISH) from Jagiellonian University in Cracow. He still looks for his research niche, although his interests drive him towards the issues of international migrations. Among those: the economic adaptation of migrants, their working and employment conditions, and social perception of migration as reflected in institutionalized migration policies. He keeps on developing his methodological toolkit and he is invariably fascinated with how much the practice of social sciences on a big scale has to offer. He is planning to use his research skills in such a way that will make his work useful to other people. In his spare time, he is running wherever he can, planning his future journeys, climbing the more or less impressive summits, and playing his black Fender CD-60, ukulele, and charango.
