Research Expertise

In my doctoral thesis, I examined the implementation of the UN Security Council Resolutions on Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) in the post-Soviet space, more specifically in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and Armenia. My research includes data collection through policy analysis, observations, and fieldwork. I conducted interviews with 80+ governmental representatives, UN agencies, women-led NGOs/CSOs, and women peacebuilders in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus region. 

I specifically investigated how National Action Plans (NAPs) emerged across the post-Soviet region and how the WPS agenda is understood and implemented in complex militarized environments characterized by various wars and protracted conflicts.
