Coming from the study of international minority protection and anti-discrimination, Andrea Krizsan has initiated and contributed substantially to an impressive set of comparative studies on gender and intersectionality in East and Central Europe, thereby countering and challenging the ongoing unwillingness of Western European scholars to understand the Europe outside the small, but still hegemonic West. She never tires of seeing and creating opportunities for herself and others to open the field for new topics, methods, teaching or research projects, always bringing her deep expertise, enthusiasm, engagement and working power to them.

In her very strong list of publications, often collaborating closely with others, gender-based violence is one of the important issues that she is addressing, but also the institutionalization of intersectionality, and democratic backsliding.

On this last topic, together with Conny Roggeband, she has also presented a background paper last year at the CSW, the UN Commission on the Status of Women, in New York.
