Mariia Tepliakova

Hi, my name is Mariia Tepliakova and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Politics of Diversity research group led by Liza Mügge at the University of Amsterdam. I am a part of the “Political Masculinities in Europe” project, specifically investigating how younger voters perceive and evaluate male politicians.

I recently completed my PhD at the Salzburg Centre of European Union Studies (SCEUS), Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg, supervised by Jessica Fortin-Rittberger and Nadine Zwiener-Collins.

My PhD focused on the anti-gender backlash in the European Union, especially attitudes toward gender equality policies and EU policymaking on gender. My broader research interests include media freedom, Central and Eastern Europe, and gender & politics.

I am originally from Siberia, Russia 🐻
