Raluca studied political science at Kenyon College in Ohio, U.S.A. After earning her B.A., she spent a combined year as an intern on the Western Balkans teams at the National Democratic Institute in Washington, D.C. and then the European External Action Service in Brussels. Back in Romania, she worked in the non-profit sector for two years, doing tasks related mainly to project management, before joining MRC in 2014.
Raluca is passionate about finding ways to convey complex information, such as the results of scientific studies, to the wider public and fostering more civil, inclusive and empowering public discourse. Her academic interests are varied, but she is particularly concerned with how institutions or social norms shape individual opinions, attitudes and behaviors. She’s currently focusing on the study of prejudice and online comments through a range of methods.
