Beatrice Pasciuta serves as Full Professor of Jurisprudence (GIUR-16/A) at the Department of Law, University of Palermo, where she holds the Chair of Medieval and Modern Legal History. Appointed Vice Rector for Inclusion, Equal Opportunities and Gender Policies from November 2021 to October 2027, she maintains active academic duties including weekly office hours at the History of Law Section. Her institutional affiliation spans both teaching responsibilities in legal history and significant administrative leadership.
Professor Pasciuta's research centers on Sicilian legal history from the medieval through modern periods, with particular emphasis on constitutional development, gender-related jurisprudence, and normative pluralism. Her scholarly focus reveals through recurring themes across decades of supervised theses: the 1812 Sicilian Constitution as a constitutional laboratory, women's legal imputability, honor killings jurisprudence, and the evolution of legal concepts like property rights. This body of work demonstrates deep engagement with Mediterranean legal traditions and their interaction with broader European frameworks.
Analysis of her supervised theses (2007-2021) reveals consistent scholarly trajectories across three interconnected domains: constitutional history (particularly Sicilian/Bourbon experiments), gender law evolution (from medieval imputability doctrines to 20th century honor killing legislation), and diplomatic/legal theory development (including just war concepts and scholastic migration rights). The geographic focus remains predominantly Sicilian with comparative European dimensions, while temporal coverage spans from 12th century papal diplomacy to 20th century legal reforms.
Her academic service includes significant administrative leadership as Vice Rector while maintaining core teaching responsibilities in legal history. The supervised thesis record indicates consistent mentorship of approximately 1-3 students annually across diverse historical legal topics, though specific student names aren't documented in the source material. No major scientific awards or research grants are explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
