Joanna Jurewicz serves as Professor at the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Oriental Studies within the Department of South Asian Studies. Elected to Academia Europaea in 2002 following her habilitation, she maintains active scholarly engagement in Vedic studies and cognitive linguistics. Her institutional affiliation spans decades, rooted in Warsaw's Indological tradition since her 1990 doctorate. Her research centers on cognitive-linguistic analysis of the Ṛgveda, examining metaphorical structures, conceptual formation in archaic thought, and philosophical continuities into Upaniṣadic literature. Key contributions include deconstructing Vedic concepts of self (ātmán), desire (kāma), and cosmic order through frameworks like "fire cognition" and spatial metaphors. This interdisciplinary approach bridges linguistics, philosophy, and religious studies to reveal systematic cognitive patterns in ancient Indian thought. Jurewicz's publication trajectory shows consistent focus on Ṛgvedic semantics since the 1990s, evolving toward comprehensive analyses of Indian philosophical development. Her work demonstrates methodological innovation through cognitive linguistics applied to classical texts, influencing contemporary Indological scholarship across Central and Eastern Europe.
