Current Research

My research focuses on understanding 1) how several legal systems coexist in the same social arena, how they interact, change and affect each other, 2) how individuals, social groups, and communities partake in these processes, and the intermediary role of lawyers and organizations in shaping these practices, 3) how these interactions vary between cultures and political contexts.

My doctoral research investigates how and why citizens of Taranto, a city in the south of Italy where one of the largest steel factories in Europe is located, have resorted to courts to fight against the environmental decay caused by the factory. The project explores the political, legal, social, and cultural conditions that have pushed the local citizenry to seek legal protection to address the socioenvironmental crisis caused by the steelworks. Further, it contextualizes the analysis within the so-called Southern Question, that is the longstanding socioeconomic divide between the North and the South of Italy. The project is funded by the Agenda 2030 Graduate School established at the Faculty of Social Science, Lund University.
