Current research
Giulia Mariani has been awarded a Postdoc grant by the Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare (Forte) for her project titled "Opposition to Gender Equality Policies in the European Multi-Level Space: The Case of Abortion". The project seeks to gain a better understanding of who the anti-abortion organizations operating at the supranational level are and of how they may access and take advantage of the European Union's governing bodies to push their agenda forward.
Past research
In her Ph.D. dissertation titled "Political and Discursive Opportunities for Institutional Change: The Case of Marriage Equality in the United States", Giulia has built on the literature on gradual institutional change and on morality policies to study the struggle by the LGBT movement to gain marriage rights as well as the resistance cast by its opponents to preserve heterosexual marriage.
