Independent researcher and consultant
Ana Stojiljković holds a PhD in Media and Communication awarded at the University of Leeds in 2017. Her research interests revolve around strategic communication, election campaigns, democratisation contexts, and audience/reception research. Her thesis ‘Collective Identities and Election Campaigns’ was supervised by Professor Katrin Voltmer and Dr Giorgia Aiello. The thesis looks at how election campaigns communicate the meaning of collective identities, especially how national narratives are communicated in election campaigns.
Ana had previously collaborated with the ‘Media, Conflict and Democratisation’ Project at the School of Media and Communication, University of Leeds, was a Research Assistant managing data collection and analysis in Serbia for the ‘Illiberal turn’ Project at Loughborough University, and consulted election campaigns and political projects in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, and the UK. For the PANCOPOP project, she is conducting research in Serbia for all strands of the project.
