Part of its 20th Anniversary Celebration, the Piast Institute invites the public to hear Dominik Stecula, Ph.D., author of Polish Americans Today.
Building on his initial book Polish Americans Today: Modern Polonian Leadership, the second edition of the book, Polish Americans Today was published in 2021. Both editions were published by the Piast Institute and were based on surveys. This second edition is the only national survey of Polish Americans and offers the most detailed data-driven look at the Polish American community, according to Stecula. With the lecture, Dr. Stecula will paint a comprehensive picture of American Polonia and focus on the attitudes, demographics, identities, and cultural activities of the Polish American community.
This program is part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the Piast Institute. Books will be available for purchase at the lecture. Please register online here.
This program is co-financed from the Polish community funds of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Chicago. More information is available here.
