Vanda Maufras Černohorská, Ph.D., focuses on gender inequalities in the context of feminist institutionalism and intersectional perspective. Currently, she works at the National Contact Centre for Gender & Science, focusing on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and related policies on existing gender inequalities as part of the RESISTIRÉ research team. In the past years, she explored the effect of the European Structural Funds on gender equality in the Czech labor market. Her doctoral research investigated the relationship between digital technologies and the contemporary feminist movement in the Czecho-Slovak region. Her other research interests include the issue of qualitative methods and multi-disciplinary approaches within the social research and co-creation practices related to gender-sensitive policy design. She was awarded a Fulbright grant and spent 2015/2016 as a Visiting Assistant in Research at the Yale Center for Cultural Sociology.

Since 2013, Vanda has worked for the NGO sector, both in the Czech Republic and abroad, focusing mainly on migration issues and women’s rights. As of 2020, she serves as a chairwoman of the Gender Expert Chamber of the Czech Republic.
