Short Bio
I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Leeds, Centre for Disability Studies in the School of Sociology and Social Policy and work as an EU Marie Sklodowska-Curie Early-Stage Researcher within the Disability Advocacy Research in Europe (DARE) project.
I hold a master’s degree in human rights law from the Central European University and a master’s degree in international economics from the University of Novi Sad. His doctoral research project uses socio-legal analysis and focuses on disabled children’s participation in healthcare decision-making in the context of impairment-related elective orthopaedic treatments. It further explores the relationship between the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in the area of child participation.
I am serving as a Board Member of the European Network on Independent Living (ENIL) and worked previously for the UN OHCHR in Serbia as Disability Rights Specialist and for Disability Rights Promotion International as the Regional Officer for Europe.
