Edward Omeni draws on concepts from sociology, psychology, and social pedagogical research to examine experiences of violence among international students in Poland. His research study places particular focus on the range of strategies adopted by the students in response to forms of personal and social violence as well as the resulting forms of social exclusion and precariousness. By means of a detailed analysis of narrative accounts, the dynamics of coping with violence are theorized in the situational/social-cultural context of higher education in Poland, where aspects of intercultural relations and identity struggles of ethnic and cultural minorities remain relatively understudied.

Dr. Edward Omeni has held faculty positions at Kings College London and the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität of Mainz. His primary academic interests and research are in the fields of social work, sociology of mental health and healthcare as well as the sociology of coping and social action.
