My research explores the intersections between the urban and the political. I am interested in:
- the role of cities in process of de-politicization and re-politicization and in the relations between cities, nature and politics
- urban geography
- political philosophy
- urban uprisings and movements
- urban commons
- geographies of populism
- urban governance and politics, with particular reference to urban infrastructures
- geographies of neoliberalization and austerity
- geographies of post-democratization
- urban political ecology, with particular reference to the politics of urban sustainability, climate change, and the Anthropocene
