Katarzyna Derlatka is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Recent History of Poland at the Faculty of Philosophy and History, University of Lodz. Holding a doctorate in military science, she specializes in the intersection of historical analysis and contemporary security issues. Her academic work bridges the historical perspective of Poland's recent past with modern security challenges facing nations today. Dr. Derlatka's research interests span security studies with particular focus on information security, crisis management, and communication strategies in defense contexts. She examines how propaganda and disinformation function as tools of modern warfare, analyzing both historical precedents and contemporary applications. Her work on crisis communication explores how governments and institutions can build societal resilience against information threats and hybrid warfare tactics. She investigates the role of media in shaping public perception during conflicts and emergencies, with particular attention to how digital platforms have transformed information warfare. Her publication record reveals a consistent trajectory examining security challenges through historical and contemporary lenses. Early works focused on crisis management fundamentals, while more recent publications address sophisticated topics like multidimensional disinformation in modern warfare and migration as a security threat. Her research demonstrates how historical events like Hurricane Katrina provide valuable lessons for contemporary crisis response, while her analysis of Syrian migration patterns reveals how humanitarian crises can be weaponized in geopolitical conflicts. Dr. Derlatka has supervised three theses, contributing to the development of new scholars in security studies. Her work connects academic research with practical security applications, particularly in the Polish context where historical memory intersects with current security concerns in Central and Eastern Europe.
