Short CV

Before joining the WU Institute for Gender and Diversity in Organizations, Andrea Romo Pérez was a postdoctoral fellow at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and a lecturer in the Master’s program in Intercultural Conflict Management at Alice Salomon Hochschule, Berlin. She holds a PhD in History from Freie Universität Berlin and a master’s in Public Management from Universität Potsdam.

Andrea’s research covers policing and police-minority relations in Latin America, intersectional discrimination, masculinities, diversity and inclusion, and gender-based violence. Her recent studies focus on the effects of violence and crime in education and journalism, aesthetic capital in higher education, and emotional inequalities at work. She has published in high-impact journals, such as Feminist Criminology and Policing and Society.

She has received funding for projects based in Austria, in Ecuador, and for a collaborative project between Austria and Uganda, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. Beyond academia, Andrea has worked in print media and Ecuador’s public sector.
