Curriculum vitae
Agnieszka Helena Kazimierczuk was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1984. She graduated from high school in Warsaw in 2003. She obtained her BA in Economics from Warsaw University (Poland) in 2007 and MSc in International Development Studies from the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands) in 2009. She joined the African Studies Centre Leiden as a Junior Researcher in 2014 and became the PhD Representative for the institute from 2015-2018.
Prior to her work at the ASCL, Agnieszka worked as a junior researcher in the PADev project. Her fieldwork in Ghana (2008 and 2010) resulted in a participatory poverty assessment and a solid evaluation of development projects conducted among socially excluded groups of people, namely the poor and children. Between February 2013 and August 2014, she was teaching a course in Research Methods and Techniques for Doing Fieldwork in Developing Countries for master students of International Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam. She also worked as a freelance junior researcher and a project officer in the Brussels-based advocacy network.
During her PhD, Agnieszka published an article in an A-journal and a number of working papers and blogs. She was the initiator and co-coordinator of the informal Africanist PhD Network in Belgium and the Netherlands. In the frame of her engagement in the Leiden African Studies Assembly, she established a Visiting PhD programme that provided a possibility for 10+ African PhDs to spend 3 months at Leiden University (between 2018 and 2020).
