Gréta Tímea Biró is a social anthropologist who received her PhD from Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen–Nürnberg (Germany) in 2024. Her research areas include gender and queer studies, the anthropology of international development—with a particular interest in environmental injustice—and anthropological approaches to state-sponsored (religious) rehabilitation and body politics, topics she has studied in Malaysia, Southeast Asia.

Since November 2025, Gréta has been a postdoctoral researcher in the FERBOPO project (WP2), where she anthropologically examines the relationship between the state, the church, and body politics in Romania, with a specific focus on gender-based violence.

Before embarking on her academic career, Gréta worked on community development projects in Eastern Europe and as a special-needs childhood educator in the UK. She is passionate about making anthropological insights accessible to the general public through collaborative projects and the use of audio-visual techniques. To this end, she is currently experimenting with ethnographic filmmaking. She is also working on her first monograph, which explores Malay-Muslim trans women’s self-making and the state-sponsored Islamic rehabilitation program in Malaysia.
