Research interests:

I am Assistant Professor in the University of Silesia in Katowice. Since 2004, I have been a university teacher. I hold a PhD degree in Linguistics (University of Silesia, 2013). I graduated from the Catholic University of Lublin (1993).

My research interests include sociolinguistics, communication, media theory, public relations, advertising, discourse theory, Critical Discourse Analysis and the interface between knowledge, power and language.

I teach public relations, advertising, propaganda, communication ethics, sociology of language, pragmalinguistics, the art of argumentation and persuasion techniques.

I have 30-years experience in the media and public relations. I am currently an independent consultant and coach in public relations, the media and advertising. I specialize in media relations, in the private as well as in the public sector; counseling and coaching in the relations with the media, e.g. press releases and conferences, interviews, problems with the self-image, media crisis, advertising, information directing, and other communicative techniques and tools.
