credit. She is a prominent spokesperson nationally for the LGBT
community of her country. Additionally, she has been a public figure,
with a
list of press commentaries and essays written on subjects of
contemporary
politics, society and culture.

In this forum she is will discuss the unanticipated political
ramifications of European Union membership for the Polish women's

LGBT
