About me
Senior FWO Postdoctoral Fellow at KU Leuven, Belgium
I hold a Ph.D. in Political Science from Humboldt University, Berlin. I am also a Fulbright (University of Florida 2018/19) and Swedish Institute (Lund University 2020/2021) Alumna. Prior to my work at KU Leuven, I was an MSCA EUTOPIA Fellow at the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
I am a co-founder of Equal Opportunities Platform, a Ukrainian NGO promoting gender equality. In 2022, I was honored to receive the Emma Goldman Award for my work as a feminist scholar and human rights activist.
My research interests include LGBTQ rights and activism in Central and Eastern Europe, queer migration, and anti-gender movements.
