Research interests
Urban studies and qualitative methodology: I am particularly interested in studying the city
and the sociology and anthropology of the city (including social, economic and political
dimensions) in relation to everyday practices, and on working reflexively both on
ethnographic experience and visual methodologies.
URBAN ETHNOGRAPHY (FOCUS ON GENTRIFICATION AND GLOBAL CITIES) - EVERYDAY MULTICULTURAL PRACTICES - URBAN
CONFLICTS - MIGRATION ISSUES - NEW NETWORKED TECHNOLOGIES - ETHNOGRAPHIC FILM AND DOCUMENTARY PRACTICE.
