We are honored to spotlight Dr. Charlène Calderaro, recipient of the 2025 Joni Lovenduski PhD Prize in Gender & Politics. This award recognizes outstanding doctoral research that deepens our understanding of gender and politics while advancing new ideas that shape both scholarship and public debate.
The works of Dr. Calderaro illuminate the interaction of feminism and far-right politics, providing new ideas on the nature of power, gender, and democracy. Her works of street harassment laws in France and UK show the ways feminist demands are formulated in political discourse and policy formulation. Using the idea of linking activism with the policy, she gives valuable information about the approaches to the problem of gender in society.
Dr. Calderaro is a scholar and is also a proponent of gender equality. She is also devoted to ensuring that research may be applied into practice through the unification of theory and policy transformation. Her writing also encourages students, scholars, and policymakers to contemplate the issue of gender, rights and democracy.
The Joni Lovenduski PhD Prize in Gender and Politics is among the most well-known awards of the field. The award of this prize demonstrates the contributions of the Dr. Calderaro scholarship to the academic and policy discussions. It is also a triumph of her contribution to the development of discourses that are so crucial in the political landscape of the present day.
Dr. Charlene Calderaro is the product whose achievements we take great pride at GlobalX Publications. Her research, equality and informed policy have continued to impact the academia and the society.
