Polish studies events at SSEES include one-off conferences and research seminars as well as an annual Polish studies conference and biennial Polish migration conferences. Both these regular events are subsidised by the Grabowski Fund. As of 2019, the annual conference has been organised collaboratively with the British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies (BASEES) Polish Studies Group. Polish studies events also take place under the aegis of various SSEES seminar series.
Multidisciplinary Polish studies events at SSEES are open to students, researchers and non-academic participants.
‘Polish’ studies is understood inclusively, within the framework of Critical Area Studies. Polish studies research at SSEES includes anthropology, architecture, cinema, history, gender and queer studies, literature, memory studies, migration studies, sociology -- including socio-legal studies and socio-linguistics -- and politics.
The Polish Migration Website provides an on-line bibliography of publications on Polish migration.
