History Faculty Adds First Woman to Staff
Presently, Prof. Cienciala is teaching History of East Central Europe in the 19th and 20th Centuries, and Survey of Modern European History.
THE "DYNAMIC atmosphere of growth" at KU appeals to Prof. Cienciala, who has found Mid-Westerners to be friendly and helpful. The climate and even the buildings, or at least Strong Hall, which seems to be "overheated," will take adjusting to, she concedes.
Anna M. Cienciaal has joined the History Department as the first woman to be hired at faculty rank.
Prof. Cienciala likes to "ski and swim when possible." She also enjoys listening to music and watching good films and television Westerns. She especially enjoys reading the New York Times and wishes that she were able to buy the daily edition and "read the Sunday edition on Sunday."
PROF. ANNA CIENCIALA
Fluent in French and Polish, Prof. Cienciaal likes to talk about Eastern Europe and to discuss International Affairs. She wrote and broadcasted about Eastern Europe while in Canada.
PROF. CIENCIALA is an avid collector of extremely old books on Eastern Europe. Her growing library now weighs two and a half tons.
Her only complaint is not having a driver's license. When she tried to sign up for the driver's education class in Lawrence, she found the closed class. She would appreciate having a teacher, preferably, with a driver's education background.
AT THAT TIME, she and her mother and sister trekked across Europe to France, where they were caught in a German invasion. They escaped to Spain, then to Portugal, and on to England where she spent the remainder of her schooling days.
From 1960-65, Prof. Cienciala taught at the University of Otaawa and the University of Toronto, emphasizing Russian and West and East European history. During this time, in 1962, she received her Ph.D.
Prof. Cienciala was born in the Free City of Danzig, now Gdansk, Poland. She lived in Gdynia, a Polish port, until the outbreak of World War II.
UNDER A Ford Fellowship in 1958-60, she conducted research on "Polish Foreign Policy and the Western Powers, 1938-39," studying in the United States, England, and Poland.
She received her B.A. in modern history from the University of Liverpool in 1952. Afterwards, she emigrated to Canada. During 1952-53, she attended the Russian Institute of Columbia University in New York. In 1955, she received her M.A. in modern history from McGill University, Montreal, Canada.
