Biography

Andrea Krizsan is Research Fellow at the Center for Policy Studies since 2001. She is interested in understanding progressive policy change in countries of Central and Eastern Europe. She works on different equality policy fields including gender equality policy, policies on gender based violence, policies addressing ethnic inequalities and intersectionality.

Roggeband analysed domestic violence policy reforms in five Central and Eastern European countries. Her publications include articles in Violence against Women, Journal of International and Comparative Social Policy, Ethnic and Racial Studies, Social Politics, European Integration Online Papers, Policy Studies, European Journal for Women's Studies, Journal for Ethnic and Minority Studies and chapters in several edited volumes. She edited a volume on women's movements mobilizing for policy change (2015), ethnic monitoring and data collection (2001) and co-edited one with J. Squires and H. Skjeie on institutionalizing intersectionality and the changing nature of European equality regimes (2012).
