Elisabetta is a PhD candidate in International Order and Human Rights at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.
Her doctoral research examines how implicit gender norms within international refugee law can produce discriminatory outcomes. She focuses on intersectionality as a framework for analysing asylum claims and on the Istanbul Convention as a practical instrument to foster gender-sensitive procedures.
During her stay at ACMRL, Elisabetta will complete her analysis of intersectionality and work on her thesis chapter dedicated to EU migration law, with a particular focus on the legal implications of the EU’s ratification of the Istanbul Convention and its role in enhancing protection for women who are asylum seekers and survivors of gender-based violence.
We are excited to have Elisabetta with us and look forward to exchanging ideas and knowledge during her time as a visiting researcher.
