About Me
Biography
My name is Anja Vojvodic. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the City University of New York's (CUNY) LaGuardia Community College.
My research focuses on women's political representation in Central and Eastern Europe. My PhD from Rutgers University (2020) is in Women and Politics and Comparative Politics. During the 2011-2012 academic year, I was a Fulbright Fellow in Serbia, where I interviewed 15 women Parliamentarians on their experiences as politicians in the country. I based my doctoral research and eventual dissertation on this experience.
Before I entered a PhD program in Political Science in Fall 2014, I worked for several non-profit organizations, including Downtown Alliance NY, The Legal Aid Society and the YIVO Institute. I also interned at the US FUND for UNICEF and the City Council of New York.
In addition to my PhD, I have two Master's Degrees: one from New York University in Global Affairs (2011) and one from Rutgers University in Political Science (2017). I received a BA in Political Science in 2005 from the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Queens College.
I currently teach Global Politics and Law and Human Rights in the United States at CUNY LaGuardia Community College, where I also direct the Political Science Program. I serve as a Faculty Advisor for the Model UN Program at LaGuardia. In addition to my appointment at CUNY, I am an adjunct Lecturer at NYU, where I teach a Master's Level Course called Writing for International Affairs.
