Lecturer in EU Politics, University of Salford, Manchester
Cristina works on gender and comparative European politics, with a focus on post-communist Europe.
Her monograph Gender, Institutions and Political Representation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2018) examines women's representation in six post-communist countries (Bulgaria, Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia), outlining and analysing the causal mechanisms reproducing male dominance in politics since 1990.
