Research Area

Humanistic and Critical Cartography – I explore the role of cartography in shaping geographical imaginaries, both historically and in contemporary contexts.
Critical Migration and Border Studies – I analyze the use of cartographic practices in the governance of migration and European borders.
Political and Postcolonial Geography – I study the relationship between geography, power, and the construction of national identities, with a focus on the decolonization of geographical space.
Geography and Visual Arts – I examine the connection between geography, contemporary art, and media, with particular interest in cinema, literature, and artistic practices that use cartography as an expressive language.
Mobility and the Anthropocene – I investigate spatial transformations related to globalization, ecological crises, and new forms of human and non-human mobility.
