In years 1980-1984 Ania completed her studies in German at the University of Lodz, Poland (incl. Diploma of Education), speaks Polish, German, English, and has some knowledge of French and Russian. After a short time of 1.5 years spent between Germany and France in years 1984-1986, she migrated to Australia. Since then, she continued her studies in Australia, and subsequently taught at various universities (see Ania Lian's résumé or Ania Lian's CV). See Ania's PhD thesis

Today, Ania is one the two Directors of Critical Pedagogy and Technology Consultants, Pty Ltd., Australia. Her work involves a number of educational and community projects (e.g. see actlocalconnect.com) whose general goal is to create opportunities which translate the objective of education through communication into reality. The contexts of these projects range from a number of experimental studies conducted by doctoral students at the University of Canberra, Australia (e.g. see Thai News Network), to some newly formed ideas which will be made available through this website in their due course. One of those recent ideas is the Multilingual Dialogic Database of Concepts (members can view the website). The general framework of Ania's work you can explore by looking at her publications, most of which are available through this site. Please see Ania's academic papers as evolving thoughts, shaping as Ania's ideas grow and change.
