Research Interests
Natalia Nowakowska's principal research interests lie in the religious, political and cultural history of early modern Poland. She has published on the state-building tactics and ecclesiastical policies of the Jagiellonian dynasty at the end of the fifteenth century, Polands crusading tradition and the kingdoms links with papal Rome. Her current research project is a new investigation of the early Reformation period in Poland, examining different currents of religious reform (Christian humanist, Lutheran and orthodox Catholic) and asking how the Polish story can inform our understanding of the European Reformations as a whole.
Supervision Interests
Natalia Nowakowska is willing to supervise research on early modern Poland and East-Central Europe; the fifteenth-century church and ecclesiastical governance; Catholic reform before the Council of Trent.
