Danielle Drozdzewski

Danielle Drozdzewski is an Associate Professor (Docent) in Human Geography at Stockholm University's Department of Human Geography, where she has been employed since July 2018. Previously, she was a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. She holds a PhD in Human Geography from UNSW, along with a BEnvSc (Hons Class 1 in Geography) and a BA in Science and Technology Studies, also from UNSW.

Her research centers on the geographies of remembrance, with expertise in memory, identity, and migration. She investigates how memories of culture and place are integral to identity formation across scales, from personal to supranational. Her work explores migration motivations and outcomes to understand people-place interactions, primarily using qualitative methods. She has developed QualNotes, a digital research tool for social sciences and humanities, which integrates mobile mapping, interviews, and participant observation.

Her recent publications show a strong focus on digital geographies of commemoration, cultural memory in urban contexts, and innovative research methodologies. She has published extensively in journals like Emotions, Space and Society, Geography Compass, and Political Geography, with recent work examining memory practices in Kraków, Poland, and digital memorialization techniques.
