PROFIL PRACOWNIKA: Jakub Ryszard Stempień

I have been working at the University of Lodz since 2018. I am an active member of the Polish Sociological Association (chairman of the Audit Committee of the PSA, president of the Sociology of Sport Section of the PSA, member of the Board of the Lodz Branch of the PSA). I am also a member of The European Association for Sociology of Sport (EASS) and a participant in conferences organized by this society. I am a member of the editorial board of the quarterly journal "AUL Folia Sociologica".

I am interested in sociological theory, as well as in certain aspects of the sociology of physical culture and the sociology of health and medicine.

My PhD dissertation was awarded in 2012 the prize in the 10th Competition of the "Local Government" ("Samorząd Terytorialny") monthly magazine for the best doctoral dissertations, master's theses and bachelor's theses on the system and activities of local government.

In 2004, I received the "Medal for Glorious Studies" (awarded by the Senate of the University of Lodz).
