Michal Gulczynski

Michal Gulczynski is a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute's Department of Political and Social Sciences, holding a postdoctoral research position within the Max Weber Programme for Postdoctoral Studies. His academic affiliation centers on interdisciplinary gender research bridging political science, sociology, and demography.

His research focuses on multifaceted gender inequalities, with emphasis on reversed educational gaps, sex-selective migration patterns, gender dimensions in EU policy frameworks, and voting behavior disparities. Key methodologies include causal inference techniques applied to electoral reforms and voter turnout dynamics. Current work investigates cross-national variations in boys' educational underachievement and potential remediation strategies.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong thematic continuity in gendered institutional analysis, particularly examining how electoral systems affect representation and how policy frameworks address (or neglect) men's issues. The 2025 quasi-experimental study on proportional representation demonstrates methodological rigor in isolating electoral system effects, while the 2024 EU policy analysis highlights critical gaps in gender mainstreaming approaches.

Teaching experience includes assistant roles at Bocconi University and educational collaborations with Polish organizations. His academic trajectory shows extensive international exposure through exchange programs across Latin America, Europe, and Russia, complemented by practical experience at the European Commission and Polish diplomatic missions.
