If you ask Dr. Alena Sander what drives her, she will respond:
feminist perspectives on politics, economics, labor, and academia; resistance and social change in democracies; and solidarity in times of crisis.

She doesn’t just work on these topics—she lives them. Whatever she does – when she steps on stage, you can feel that passion.

Alena has spent years working with international organizations, universities, NGOs and institutions as a speaker, facilitator, consultant, researcher – sometimes shaping policies, sometimes diving deep into research, sometimes accompanying people on different learning journeys. Whether she’s moderating a panel, a fireside chat, or a fishbowl discussion, she brings energy, sharp insights, and an inclusive approach that makes sure all voices are heard.
