Veronica Romano is a Ph.D. Candidate in «Human Rights: Evolution, Protection and Limits» at the
University of Palermo, in partnership with the École Doctorale Droit et Science Politique of the
University of Paris Nanterre – Centre de droit pénal et de criminologie.
Her research project deals with securitarian rhetoric and the way it is exploited by populist actors in order to build up and justify exclusionary policies and a proper “criminal law of fear” directed against migrants. The aim of her doctoral thesis is to rethink the concept of security, showing how these policies and laws produce exactly the opposite effect to the one declared by populist actors: dehumanization, marginality, social exclusion, thus more risk of deviance and insecurity for all.
Since 2020 she has been publishing several case notes to international and national judgments in «Il
Foro italiano» journal: the most recent is the note to the Special Assize Court of Paris’ judgment on
the November 2015 terrorist attacks.
On the 17th of March 2022 she presented her Ph.D. thesis at the French National Library “François
Mitterrand” as one of the ten finalists of the University Paris Nanterre for the French MT180
competition organised by the CNRS (Conseil National de la Recherche Scientifique).
On July 2021 she was also selected for the presentation of her Ph.D. thesis during the Summer
School on Migration Policy and Asylum in the EU at the Université Libre de Bruxelles.
On October 2021 she discussed at the University of Messina a paper entitled «From the indesirable
migrants to their rescuers: old and new public enemies in the policy of closed ports» (forthcoming
publication in the Messina University Press).
Finally, she has just been selected for the participation in the IMISCOE Ph.D. School "Critical Reflections on Migration Studies, Racism and Discrimination" which will be held in Bruselles next month, as well as for the participation, as a speaker, to the Workshop "Comparing everyday bordering in migrants’ access to social services: scope, practices and resistance" which will be held in Paris in June 2023.
