I am a Doctor of Political Science. My PhD degrhttps://orcid.org/my-orcidee was awarded by the Department of Political Science of the School of Social Sciences of the University of Crete (com laude). My Doctoral Thesis Title is: The Securitization of Migration in Greece, 2011 - 2019: Theory and Practice of Desecurization as a Process for the Integration of Migrants in the Greek Society. I also hold a Master’s degree in American Studies from the University of Turin in Italy as well as a Bachelor’s degree in International and European Studies from the University of Piraeus in Athens. My main research interests are securitization, desecuritization and migration, critical security studies and border/migration studies. As my own idea, I have developed a desecuritization framework, through the management and supervision of migratory flows, "flexicuritization" that takes primarily into account the alleviation of the concerns of the citizens of the host state, to achieve the desecuritization of migrants and refugees. My overall research aim is to explore the possibility of a desecuritization framework based on Paul Roe’s (2004) desecuritization strategy for ethnic minorities in the migration case, through management, aiming at emancipation as stated by Aradau (2004). Results obtained have been in the process of publishing in high esteemed scientific journals. Several presentations in international conferences have taken place such as at the ECPR Digital General Conference of 2020 with a presentation titled «Securitization of Migration Perception Patterns Among Police and Market Actors in Greece: A Comparative Study in the Islands of Crete and Lesvos” and another one titled «The Political Culture of Securitization of Migration in Greece 2015-2019: A Case Study Analysis in Mytilene, Lesvos». Currently I an in the process of publishing two books titled: De (Securitization) of Migration in Greece, 2011 – 2019. Private Publication, and Dimensions and Prospects for the Integration of Refugees in the Greek Social and Economic System: Findings from the Case Study in Lesvos and Crete, along with Kotrogiannos, D., Tzagarakis. St. I., Kamekis, A., & Mavrozacharakis, E. I have participated in several research projects, the most recent being during the period 2018-2019 as a fellow researcher (under scholarship) of the Department of Political Science of the University of Crete in the research program titled «Identification and categorization of refugees in the Greek productive system. Case study in the regions of Crete and Mytilene», co-funded by the European Social Fund and national funds, as part of the project "Supporting researchers with emphasis on young researchers". Main responsibilities: Conduction of qualitative and quantitative research about the refugee problem in the regions of Crete and Mytilene. Work Packages: W.P.1: Study of secondary data regarding the refugee issue and its extensions in Greece, W.P.2: Field research (quantitative and qualitative character), W.P.3: Processing of findings, W.P.4: Joint participation in an international conference and joint publication in an international scientific journal.
