Elzbieta Drazkiewicz Grodzicka

Lecturer in Anthropology, National University of Ireland Maynooth

I am a social anthropologist specialising in organisational, political and economic anthropology. My research concerns global and local governance, state and identity politics. To date, I have explored those issues through studies of foreign aid and development management, public health governance, and education systems. My regional focus is on Poland, South Sudan and Ireland.
