Monika Wilinska is Associate Professor in Welfare and Social Sciences. Her research focuses on the intersectional approaches to processes and practices of inequality (re)production within the context of the welfare state. In particular, she is interested in the agency-structure relationships within diverse contexts as well as the creation and use of various spaces at the individual, groups, organizational, and societal levels. Methodologically, she is trained in discourse and narrative analysis. Her most recent work revolves around the emotional dimension of qualitative research and institutional practices and applies interactional analysis to trace the emergence and construction of emotions within the context of meetings between professional and non-professional actors. Since 2014, she has been involved in the COST Action on Ageism as a co-chair the Working Group on Ageism and Media. The COST Action on Ageism is a multi-national and interdisciplinary knowledge exchange project aiming at combating ageism in European societies.
