Janina Kostkiewicz

Janina Kostkiewicz serves as a Professor at the Institute of Pedagogy, Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, holding the title Prof. Dr. Hab. She actively teaches contemporary pedagogical trends (course code WFz.IP-PS.3.15) for the 2024/2025 academic year and maintains regular consultation hours on Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in room 12 at Batorego Street 12, except during teaching-free periods.

Her research specializes in the history of Polish pedagogy with particular focus on the interwar period (1918-1939), critically examining totalitarian ideologies (fascism, nazism, communism) within educational contexts. She extensively explores Catholic pedagogy, conservative educational thought, and the contributions of Polish intellectuals to educational theory through meticulous historical analysis and bibliographic compilation. Her work consistently addresses how pedagogical trends interact with socio-political frameworks and ideological pressures.

Analysis of her recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on documenting Polish intellectual resistance to oppressive regimes, analyzing the pseudoreligious foundations of Nazi pedagogy, and investigating the development of Catholic educational philosophy. She frequently employs comparative methodologies across Polish and international contexts, producing significant bibliographic resources that map critical currents in Polish educational thought.
