Department of the History of Education and Culture of the Jagiellonian University - facing the scientific challenge at the beginning of the third milenium

Abstract

In the years 1997–2021, the Department of the History of Education and Culture of the Jagiellonian University was headed by the professors Julian Dybiec, Andrzej Banach and Krzysztof Stopka. Despite the fact that it was structurally part of the Institute of History of the Jagiellonian University, its employees also held classes in other university faculties, including the Institute of Pedagogy, Department of Computational Linguistics at the Faculty of Management and Social Communication of the Jagiellonian University, and were in charge of the Faculty of History, Archives of the Jagiellonian University and the Museum of the Jagiellonian University. The scientific research of the team oscillated around the history of the Jagiellonian University; science, education and culture from the Middle Ages to the present day; the history of Krakow, Galicia and Poland; but also the intellectual ties of Poland with the Anglo-Saxon countries; the history of Jews and of the Roman and Greek Catholic Church; history didactics – especially in the history of the Armenians. Apart from the department heads, full-time employees in the discussed period included: Grzegorz Chomicki, Tomasz Pudłocki, Krystyna Samsonowska, Maria Stinia, and Wiktor Szymborski
