Biography

As an anthropologist working on conflict, integration/exclusion, generations, migration, tourism/journeys, housing and health/wellbeing, I have been applying my skills to both academic and participatory projects using a variety of qualitative methods for social research. My DPhil research at Sussex University (2010) was about Eritreans in Milan and the multitudes of agents constituting group and individual identities in a transnational context of sharp political tensions.

My present work focuses on the shipwreck in the seas of Lampedusa 03/10/13, looking at the political background behind the death of more than 365 migrants. I am also carrying out a research in a primary school in London looking at eco activities in a “superdiverse” context. Tourism and journeys among migrants and diasporas are also ongoing topic of interest.
