Piast Institute Launches 2020 Polish Americans Study

This survey is the second edition of our Polish Americans Today Survey, which collects the demographic, social, economic and political positions and information of America’s Polonia. Under the direction of the late Dr. Thaddeus Radzilowski, President Emeritus, and Dominik Stecuła, the first batch of results was published in 2010 as a book, freely available on its website (www.PiastInstitute.org), from the Piast Institute.

The book has gone through several printings and has been popular in both the United States and Poland. But despite the success of previous data gathering efforts, we still need data to know more about our Polish American community. This is why we will be conducting another survey this year, in 2020. This survey by Piast Institute under the direction of Virginia Skrzyniarz, CEO of Piast and Dr. Dominik Stecuła, will continue to provide us with answers about Polonia. We hope that the current survey will lead the release of an updated volume, which will continue to be relevant to countless researchers, scholars, community organizations, and others interested in Polonia.

“The value of this work is not purely academic, but it has implications for our understanding of who we are as a community and where we are headed.” said Dr. Dominik Stecuła.
