Skalny Lecture
Barbara Klich-Kluczewska is the associate professor at the Institute of History, Jagiellonian University, Krakow, Poland, and Skalny Visiting Professor. "Public Debate about Private Matters in Contemporary Poland."
To spank a child or not to spank? That is a widely discussed question engaged by Polish politicians, including the prime minister and party leaders, the media and the Catholic Church. Children's and women's rights, in vitro fertilization, abortion, contraception and divorce have come to the center of public and political debate since the Revolution of 1989. How do these vivid discussions and new legislation reflect the transformation and democratization of Polish society? How do they represent the fragmentation of the Polish political scene?
