Mariia Tepliakova

Hi, my name is Mariia Tepliakova and I am a PhD candidate at Salzburg Center of European Union Studies (SCEUS) at Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg.

My supervisors are Jessica Fortin-Rittberger and Nadine Zwiener-Collins.

I am working on anti-gender backlash in the European Union, specifically focusing on the attitudes towards gender equality policies. My other research interests include media freedom and Central and Eastern Europe.

Before starting my PhD journey, I have completed my MA in European Politics and Society at three univerisities in Europe: Charles University in Prague, Jagiellonian University in Krakow and University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. Ask me about, it was quite a journey! I also did my BA in Media Communications at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow, Russia.
