Leandra Bias

After graduation from the MPhil in REES in 2015 as a Berrow scholar I embarked onto a DPhil in Politics, which was made possible thanks to the generous support of both the Berrow Foundation and the Swiss National Science Foundation. My dissertation remains closely knit to post-communist Area Studies as I study the emergence of a new transnational feminist solidarity in Russia and Serbia that tries to go beyond the East/West dichotomy, which is currently used in negative ways by the very regimes feminist activists try to subvert.
