Artur Markowski is Associate Professor of History at the University of Warsaw, where he serves as Head of the Department of 19th-Century History in the Faculty of History. His research focuses on the social history of the Russian Empire and the history of Jewish communities in Central and Eastern Europe.
He is the principal investigator of several research projects examining anti-Jewish violence and the legal status of Jews in the territories of the former Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth during the 19th and 20th centuries. His work combines archival investigation with spatial and quantitative methodologies, contributing to a deeper understanding of interethnic relations, minority policies, and the long-term social dynamics of antisemitism.
Join us as historians Artur Markowski and Joachim Popek discuss their work mapping anti-Jewish violence in the Kingdom of Poland at the turn of the 20th century.
