In December 2016, Dr Pullicino obtained a PhD in History from the University of Malta with the thesis, ‘Crime, society and Change – An analysis of the Criminal Court Records in Malta, 1838-1888’. Her research has been varied. Dr Pullicino’s MA thesis focused on the influence of the Church in Malta between 1798 and 1829, while her BA dissertation uncovered new material about the Maltese master mason Thomas Dingli. She has also contributed a number of researched historical articles about her native village of Attard, a few others in Storja and in the Journal of Maltese History. Dr Pullicino has worked in several sectors: as an Information Officer at the Department of Information; as History Teacher at a Private Secondary School; as a History lecturer at the Government’s Sixth Form, Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School and as a Tourist Guide Trainer. At present, she is also acting as Assistant Archivist at the Curia Archives.
