Vasiliadou Dimitra

Associate Professor Dimitra Vasiliadou holds a position at the Department of Social Anthropology and History, University of the Aegean. Her research focuses on social and cultural history, particularly the 19th and 20th centuries, with an emphasis on autobiographical discourses, emotions, family dynamics, gender, and sexual violence. She leads the three-year project 'Brutal Intimacies: A History of Rape in Modern Greece (1900s-1960s)' funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation. Her work bridges legal and cultural analyses, examining how power structures (gender, class, age) influenced perceptions of sexual violence. Key publications include monographs on family ties in 19th-century Greece and edited volumes on gender and sexuality. She teaches courses on historical methodology, the private sector, and the history of sexuality.
