Martyna Miernecka

Dr. Martyna Miernecka serves as a Research Fellow within the Slavic Literature and Cultural Studies department at the University of Regensburg's Institute of Slavic Studies. Her academic profile emphasizes 20th and 21st-century literature and art through the lenses of spatial studies, ecocriticism, and geopoetics.

Her research spans queer studies, women's writing practices in socialist contexts, and the recovery of LGBTQ+ histories in Polish literature. Current work includes a monograph project on queer ecologies in socialist Poland under the "Light On!" postdoctoral initiative.

Publications reveal a consistent focus on challenging heteronormative frameworks and exploring performative textuality, reflecting interdisciplinary engagement with literary theory, gender studies, and spatial analysis.

Prior affiliations include the Urban Studies Center (University of Warsaw) and Dariah.Lab (Polish Academy of Sciences), highlighting her involvement in digital humanities and urban cultural research.
