Scientific interests
I am a human rights law scholar whose areas of research include equality and non-discrimination, gender-based violence, intersectionality and vulnerability, particularly within the contexts of the United Nations, Organization of American States and Council of Europe. I have published on these themes in several journals such as Feminist Legal Studies, Human Rights Law Review and International Journal of Constitutional Law. Before joining the University of Warsaw, I worked at several universities, including Yale (US), Ghent (Belgium) and Sheffield Hallam (UK). I was a fellow at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and was involved in various submissions and third-party interventions before the CEDAW Committee and the European Court of Human Rights. I was a visiting scholar at Emory Law School, Melbourne Law School and, most recently, CEU Democracy Institute.
