Marcin Tereszewski serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of English Literature and Comparative Studies at the University of Wrocław and has been Deputy Director of the Institute of English Studies for Community Relations since September 2024. He is also an active board member of the Polish Association for the Study of English (PASE). His academic credentials include a PhD (2010) from the University of Wrocław, with doctoral research on silence and emptiness in Samuel Beckett's work under Professor Ewa Kębłowska-Ławniczak. Dr. Tereszewski's research centers on psychogeography and dystopian literature, specializing in J.G. Ballard's fiction to examine urban space, identity, and societal collapse. His scholarship extends to Beckett studies, exploring inexpressibility and the aesthetics of failure through theoretical frameworks like heterotopia and thing theory. Publication trends reveal sustained engagement with British science fiction, particularly Ballard's New Wave works, analyzed through psychogeographical and cultural lenses. Recent scholarship increasingly incorporates environmental humanities, as evidenced by 2024 publications on waste studies and hinterlands in Ballard's fiction. He has co-edited significant academic volumes including 'Literary and Cultural Representations of the Hinterlands' (Routledge, 2024) and 'Production of Emotions: Perspectives and Functions' (Peter Lang, 2016), demonstrating leadership in collaborative research initiatives.
