Dr. Małgorzata Wosińska is a genocide anthropologist and psychotraumatologist, currently lecturing at the University of Warsaw (Faculty of Political Science and
International Studies – Cultural Policy and Cultural Management, and the Faculty of Law and Administration – NOHA UW Master in Humanitarian Action). Her research explores postcolonial and decolonial discourse in Holocaust and genocide studies, mass atrocity prevention, museum representations of extreme experiences, and the ethics of qualitative research. She integrates indigenous perspectives into psychotraumatological discourse, developing a unique framework for analyzing and addressing trauma in diverse cultural contexts. Beyond academia, she is a trauma management trainer and supervisor, supporting humanitarian NGOs (e.g., FDDS-UNICEF, Blue DOT HUB-UNHCR) and governmental institutions analyzing war and terrorism (e.g., IFIS PAN’s war testimonies project on Ukrainian refugees; OSW: Center for Eastern Studies). Her work informs innovative trauma response strategies in conflict and post-conflict settings. She serves on the Ethics Committee of the Collecting Holocaust Memories in Sweden project (Swedish Research Council) and previously acted as Director’s Representative for International Cooperation and Cultural Diplomacy at the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute (2018–2020). From 2009 to 2016, she worked on PTSD prevention in Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo (e.g., CNLG, Aegis Trust). Her forthcoming book, based on her doctoral research, examines the identity of Rwandan genocide survivors in comparison to Holocaust experiences.

Committed to science communication, she engages with international media, including Raport o Stanie Świata, Tygodnik Powszechny, Duży Format GW, Polish Radio, TVN, BBC World Service, and Haaretz.

Within the ROCIT project she provides methodological supervision with the researchers engaged in the ethnographic fieldwork.
