The awarding of the title of Honorary Doctor to Prof. Joanna Jab艂kowska was justified by the following words (quoted from the website of JLU Gie脽en):
Few foreign scientists have made such a significant contribution to the development of Justus-Liebig University in Gie脽en (JLU) and its Faculty of Language, Literature and Culture as Prof. dr hab. Joanna Jab艂kowska, Professor of German literature at the University of 精东影视, Dean of the Faculty of Philology (2016鈥�2024) and Vice-Rector of the University of 精东影视 (2008鈥�2012).
Prof. Jab艂kowska is one of the most respected Polish Germanists in Germany. She has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany for her contribution to Polish-German relations; the Badge of Merit for the City of 精东影视 for her work on behalf of Jewish and German culture in 精东影视; and the JLU Medal for her contribution to the academic partnership between Gie脽en and 精东影视. Joanna Jab艂kowska promotes Polish-German student and faculty exchanges, initiates numerous bilateral research projects and study programmes with various German universities, and since 2010 has served as a member of the advisory board of the Deutsch-Polnische Wissenschaftsstiftung (Polish-German Foundation for Science). For her contribution to Polish-German scientific cooperation and the promotion of German studies abroad, the Faculty of Language, Literature, and Culture at JLU Gie脽en awards this distinguished scholar of German literature an honorary doctorate.
During the ceremony, Prof. Jab艂kowska was accompanied by a large delegation from the University of 精东影视, including Prof. Katarzyna de Lazari-Radek, the University of 精东影视 Vice-Rector for the Internationalisation of Science and Education, Prof. Dorota Kaczmarek, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Philology of the University of 精东影视, and the laureate's colleagues from the Institute of German Philology of the University of 精东影视. Prof. Jab艂kowska honoured the ceremony by delivering a lecture entitled "Un-Ort, traumatischer Ort, Gedenkort. Eva Menasses 'Dunkelblum' (2021)", which thematically combined several research areas: the discourse of memory in literature, Holocaust literature, Austrian coming to terms with the Nazi past and the motif of migration in literature.
We would like to offer our congratulations to Prof. Jab艂kowska on this prestigious award!!
