Maryna Shevtsova

Academia is only one part of what I do. I am also deeply involved in a range of civil society and research networks across Europe and Ukraine. I serve as Director at the Equal Opportunities Platform (EOP), have volunteered for more than eight years as a senior mentor with Ukraine Global Scholars (UGS), and sit on the Board of the Forum for Central and Eastern European Studies. I am an Advisory Board member at the CEDOS think tank and regularly write for the Ukrainian feminist portal Gender in Detail. At the European level, I serve as a Management Committee member and stakeholder outreach coordinator for the COST Action CA23149, “Democratization at Stake? Comparing Anti-Gender Politics in CEE and NME Countries,” and I am also involved in the COST Action CA23129, “Peace Research Community Europe (PEACE).” These roles reflect my commitment to connecting research, policy, and feminist and democratic advocacy across borders and communities, and this list is only a snapshot of the broader collaborations and initiatives I engage in.
