Research Area

I am a social geographer interested in the ways societies relate to their space and deal with contemporary sustainability challenges.
In particular, my research now focuses on the analysis of how irrigation schemes have transformed (since colonial times) and are transforming the wetlands spaces in Sahelian Africa as regards the consequences they created for social, economic and ecological sustainability. Looking at power structures trough the analytical tools of territorialisation and territoriality, I’m engaged in studying traditional and “modern” land tenure natural resource management, land and water grabbing debate and farmer-herder strategies in response to development policy. These issues revolve around the interaction between society and the environment and the social and political struggles arising out of such interaction.
I am also particularly interested in participatory tools for local sustainable development (e.g. Local Agenda 21 initiative both in Municipalities and schools, Italian Inner Area Strategy…) and active citizenship enhancement to building sustainable and empowered communities.
