Malgorzata Stelmaszyk

Malgorzata Stelmaszyk is a Post-Doctorate Research Associate in Social Anthropology at The University of Manchester, working on the ERC-funded Cosmological Visionaries (COSMOVIS) project. She holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh (2018), focusing on shamanic cursing practices and sound in post-Soviet Tuva. Her work bridges ethnography, sound studies, and environmental anthropology.

Research interests include animism, climate change impacts on Siberian indigenous communities (Nanai, Eveny), and merging indigenous knowledge with scientific approaches. Her recent studies explore how environmental shifts influence belief systems in Amur and Khabarovsk regions.

Publications include a 2022 Routledge monograph on Siberian shamanism and sound, and articles in leading journals like Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute and Curare. Her work contributes to UN SDGs related to climate action (SDG 13) and sustainable communities (SDG 15).

No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned. She collaborates internationally, with recent co-authorships on Siberian climate adaptation research. Her ERC-funded project emphasizes interdisciplinary dialogue between indigenous and scientific expertise.
