Biography
Gabriela Ivanovska pursued her undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the
"Blaze Koneski" Faculty of Philology, Ss. Cyril and Methodius
University in Skopje, North Macedonia, as well as at Westminster College,
Missouri, USA. She graduated with honours, having completed a double major in
General and Comparative Literature and American Studies at the Faculty of
Philology in Skopje, where she later earned her doctorate in Literary Science
in 2017.
Her academic interests centre on comparative literary analysis, pedagogical
methodologies, and the refinement of educational curricula pertaining to
language and literature. Between 2007 and 2019, she served as a teacher of
Language and Literature across all tiers of education—primary, secondary, and
tertiary—holding the position of assistant lecturer within the Department of
General and Comparative Literature at the "Blaze Koneski" Faculty of
Philology.
Alongside her teaching responsibilities, Dr Ivanovska has actively engaged
in research and project work focused on educational accessibility and the
development of inclusive policies and practices for marginalised and
disadvantaged communities. These initiatives were undertaken in collaboration
with the Bureau for the Advancement of Education and the State Examination
Centre of the Republic of North Macedonia.
From 2019 to 2022, she was employed by the Ministry of Culture of the
Republic of North Macedonia, working within the Department for International
Cooperation and Cooperation with UNESCO. Since 2022, she has held the post of lecturer
in Macedonian language, literature, and culture at the Department of Slavic
Languages at Istanbul University, Turkey.
Her scholarly publications explore intercultural and interliterary dynamics,
with a particular emphasis on promoting so-called "small" literatures
and languages, such as Macedonian. Additionally, her work critically examines
the formative role of national literary curricula, assessing their democratic
character, inclusivity, and commitment to educational equity.
