Our Projects

EQUAMAN Masculinity Navigator

Masculinity Navigator – unpacking the relationship between masculine roles, well-being, and gender equality (EQUAMAN) is the most recent research project that will be carried out between 2022-2025 in Poland & Norway simultaneously.

Towards Gender Harmony

It has been 30 years since large cross-cultural study has been carried out testing the contemporary understanding of masculinity and femininity (Williams & Best, 1990).

PAR Migration Navigation

PAR Migration Navigator was a non-commercial research project that aims to analyze processes unfolding at the crossroads of two cultures: Polish & Norwegian. In our research carried out between 2013-2016 we investigated how the similarities and differences between Polish and Norwegian societies influence the lives of individuals and couples who migrate between these two countries.
