He is a co-organizer of the seminar Nowy instytucjonalizm – teorie i badania [New institutionalism – theories and research].
Mikołaj Pawlak’s research interests cover new institutional theory, migration studies, sociology of knowledge/ignorance and failure studies. He recently co-edited Routledge International Handbook of Failure - the first comprehensive volume constituting failure studies. In the previous book he co-authored Ignorance and Change he analyzes the refugee crisis from the perspective of ignorance studies. In his previous book Tying Micro and Macro he critically discusses the thesis on the sociological vacuum and presents it in the context of the debate on the micro- and macro-levels in sociological theory. His previous book Organizacyjna reakcja na nowe zjawisko [Organizational Response to a New Problem] applies the new institutional perspective in organization studies to the problem of emerging policies of refugees integration in Poland.
