Biography

Professor Raffaela Puggioni joined the School of International Affairs of O.P. Jindal Global (Institution of Eminence Deemed To Be University) in January 2020. She has some fifteen years of teaching experience in International Studies/Political Science in both UK and US systems of higher education, in countries as diverse as Italy, China, Azerbaijan and India. Her research expertise cuts across the fields of International Relations Theory, Migration Studies, Citizenship Studies and Resistance Studies.

Although her research has an international perspective, most of her research has focussed on the Italian/European geographical framework, with special attention to everyday practices of contestation, resistance and change.

From Jan. 2024 to Dec. 2026, as Jean Monnet Chair in European Borders: Security, Solidarity and Responsibility, she will be focusing on the security and ethical questions that border crossings, as well as border death, are posing not only to Mediterranean countries but to all the European Union member states.
