Her interests encompass feminism and gender politics within a global context, welfare states and policies, women’s labour market participation and workplace representation, human rights in authoritarian regimes, and misogyny in political discourse, the judiciary, and law enforcement.
Between April 2023 and present, she has been working in a multi-partner EU HORIZON Project "Realising Girls’ and Women’s Inclusion, Representation and Empowerment (RE-WIRING)", which has already produced a number of reports, working papers, toolkits, and academic publications.
