Paola Zichi

Paola Zichi is a Research Fellow at the School of Law, University of Warwick, United Kingdom, specializing in the intersection of gender politics, international legal frameworks, and historical analysis with regional focus on Israel/Palestine and the Middle East.

Her core research interests include:

• Gender and International Law
• Feminist Approaches to International Law
• International Legal History
• Israel/Palestine and the Middle East
• Criminal Justice and Criminology
• Socio-Legal Studies
• Women’s International Law
• Global Governance

Her current project Feminist Lawyering and International Law: Women Jurists in European Legal History (1899-1949) reconstructs transnational feminist activism through archival analysis of suffrage, nationality rights, sexual/child abuse, prostitution/trafficking, and women police initiatives. By examining five pioneering women jurists' lives alongside institutional records from international organizations, diaries, and movement histories, this work establishes a critical pre-history of gender legal reform preceding modern conventions.

Scientific awards: No awards, fellowships, or medals are referenced in the source material.

Regarding academic supervision and funding, Zichi leads her named research project involving extensive archival methodology but no student advisees or grant details are disclosed. The absence of laboratory or team descriptions suggests independent scholarly work centered on historical document analysis rather than experimental or collaborative research structures.
