Professor Regulska’s research and teaching concentrates on women’s agency, political activism, grassroots mobilization, and the construction of women’s political spaces. Over the last fifteen years she has worked with many women’s and feminist groups in central and east Europe and Central Asia on questions of political participation and women’s rights. She has also conducted extensive work on the impacts of political and economic restructuring on the process of democratization, citizens’ participation and decentralization in central and east Europe. She has edited and co-edited Being Effective in Public Life (Wydawnictwo OSKA, 1999), Being Active in Public Life (Wydawnictwo OSKA, 1998) and Informational Policy at the Local Level (1995, 2nd edition 1997) and co-edited volume, with Jasmina Lukic and Darja Zavirsek, Women and Citizenship in Central and East Europe,(forthcoming 2006, Ashgate Publisher, UK). She served as an advisor to governments and parliaments of central and east European countries regarding local government and public administration reforms, and decentralization processes. Currently she is serving as a Chair of the Board of Directors of the Network of East-West Women, a group of feminist scholars and practitioners from central and east Europe, west Europe and the US. For her contributions to the development of local democracy, local government reform and empowerment of women in public life the President of Poland in 2004 awarded her the Knight Cross of the Order of Restitution of the Republic of Poland. She also received in 1996 Presidential Award for the Distinguished Public Service from the President of the Rutgers University. Her research and policy work has been extensively supported (over $9 million) by public institutions and private foundations including the National Science Foundation, Ford Foundation, the German Marshall Fund, the Rockefeller Fund, the Mellon Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts among others.
