Andrea previously worked for the Swedish MFA as the head of the Section for Turkish-Swedish Cooperation at the Consulate General of Sweden in Istanbul. Andrea has a PhD in Human Rights Studies from Lund University and has been a Visiting Assistant in Research at Yale University’s Center for Cultural Sociology and Resident Fellow at the Swedish Research Institute in Istanbul.
