I am an interdisciplinary social scientist with a PhD and MRes from the European University Institute (Italy), and MSc in Intercultural Communication form Tilburg University (The Netherlands). 

In my academic research, I draw on interdisciplinary training in cultural studies, anthropology, political science, and photography. Substantively, I examine the role of identity and nationalism in post-colonial and post-socialist societies. Geographically, I focus on East and Southeast Asia (particularly Hong Kong and Singapore) and Europe (especially Poland and the United Kingdom). Methodologically, I specialise in ethnographic approaches characterised by long-term immersion, participation, and attentiveness to everyday practices. To date, I have conducted fieldwork in Poland, Greece, Scotland, Palestine, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Alongside my academic research, I engage in documentary and street photography. I am interested in visually documenting human interactions in public spaces amid socio-political transformation. My photographic work is organised around long-term projects, shaped by my academic career and by the places I have had the good fortune to live in.  

You can explore my ongoing photographic investigations under the Photography tab, or follow works in progress on my Instagram.
