Background and academic interests

Silvia Gagliardi is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Norwegian Centre for Human Rights, University of Oslo. She holds a Doctorate in Human Rights (2018) from the Irish Centre for Human Rights, School of Law, University of Galway, Ireland. Her research examines human rights and gender, gender-based violence (GBV) and hate crimes, and gender and populism. She is also interested in decolonial feminism and feminist legal theory. 

As a visiting researcher/lecturer at University College Dublin (UCD), she continues her engagement with the European Research Council-funded project 'Foundations of Institutional Authority' (FIAT) that she implemented as a Deputy Team Leader at the UCD Centre for Constitutional Studies from 2020 to 2023. Silvia lectures on 'Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse' (PSEA) and 'GBV in International Law' at UCD Centre for Humanitarian Action. She is also rostered as a 'Gender and SGBV Adviser' in both Irish Aid Rapid Response and CANADEM Rosters, as a 'Gender Consultant' for UN FAO, and as a 'Human Rights Officer' for UN OHCHR. 

Silvia conducts programme, strategic framework evaluations and research assignments for various international organisations (incl. International Organization for Migration, Standby Partnership Network/World Food Programme). She worked for ten years for various international organisations and NGOs. These include: the Organization for Security and Co-operation (OSCE)/Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) (Poland); Trocaire (Ireland); the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (Tunisia and Lebanon); three OSCE's field operations (Kosovo, Bosnia-Herzegovina and North Macedonia); the Human Solidarity Group (Sri Lanka); and Amnesty International (USA).
