— Lilian Lechner —
Lilian earned a BA in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the University of Vienna, where she developed an interest in Post-Colonial and Feminist Theory. Building on this foundation, Lilian plans to pursue a Master’s degree in Gender Studies at the same university, aiming to deepen her understanding of gender dynamics in various conflict settings. Her interest in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the PCRC was fuelled by her engagement with the complexities of gender in post-conflict societies. She wishes to examine how gender influences and is influenced by conflict and peace building processes and the different parties involved. Lilian aspires to contribute to academic and practical discourses on gender and conflict, advocating for more inclusive and nuanced approaches to victimhood and resistance.
