Lis Vovka completed their Bachelor's degree in Music and Dance Studies at the University of Salzburg and is currently pursuing a Master's in Musicology at the University of Vienna, with a focus on the sociology of music. Her Master's thesis explores queer-feminist safe(r) spaces within Vienna’s club culture. The qualitative research centers on access barriers to these spaces, strategies for creating them - such as awareness practices - as well as the interrelations between music, spatial production, and (in)security.

Lis’s academic interests include queer-feminist electronic dance music scenes and the (re)production of social inequalities within these contexts.

Outside academia, Lis occasionally DJs at illegal antifascist parties and volunteers in the support of refugee girls.
