Election statement: Italian-born and raised, I work as an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Barcelona. I began my journey in anthropology as an applied ethnographer in the business sector and later transitioned to an academic framework to investigate tourism and mobilities. My current research explores the intersection of human mobilities and the digital economy.
A member of EASA since 2012, I co-convened AnthroMob, the Anthropology and Mobility Network (2018-2022) and was in the organizing committee for EASA 2024 in Barcelona. Locally, I was a member of the Executive board of the Catalan Institute of Anthropology (2019–2022).
If elected to the EASA Executive Committee, I aim to contribute to two key areas. First, I would work to strengthen EASA’s role as a meeting platform for anthropologists across diverse professional settings, fostering recognition from those working both within and beyond Anthropology departments, as well as practitioners in various industries. Second, I would lobby national and international institutions to advocate for increasing the visibility of our discipline across public, scientific, educational, and political domains, especially at a time when many anthropology departments are under threat or facing closure. In an era marked by global crises, growing inequalities, and rapid technological transformation, I firmly believe that anthropologists’ critical thinking matters more than ever.
