212 years ago, Henryk Kamieński—a Polish philosopher, economist, and democratic activist—was born. He introduced numerous innovative concepts to Polish political thought. In my paper, I take a comparative approach to analyze how he perceived pauperism.

The agenda for the December 1830 extraordinary session of the Warsaw Sejm was a heavily revised copy of the June 1830 version, full of strikethroughs. Under normal circumstances, the 🇷🇺 Tsar would convene the Sejm, but during the upheaval, his title was replaced with 🇵🇱 "dictator."

My article on political representation during the Polish November Uprising (1830–31) is out in 'Journal of Modern European History'. We examine Sejm debates, revealing tensions between new political ideas and old traditions amid the revolt against Tsar Nicholas I
