Alice Gussoni specialises in mobility studies with a focus on migration and political exile in nineteenth and twentieth century history. She is Lecturer in Italian Language at the University of Oxford, where she obtained her PhD in 2020 with a thesis on Gaetano Salvemini anti-fascist exile in Britain between 1925 and 1934. She has since published extensively on the subject, including the monograph Gaetano Salvemini a Londra. Un antifascista in esilio (Donzelli, 2020). More recently she has focused on Italian migration to the USA: with Guido Bonsaver (Oxford) she published a methodological chapter entitled “From Sicily to Louisiana: Early Migration and Historiographical Issues” in Managing Migration in Italy and the United States, edited by L. Braun-Strumfels, M. Marinari and D. Fiorentino (De Gruyter, 2023). These preliminary findings will be developed in her MSCA project, SAIL, supervised by Prof. Stefano Luconi. SAIL will shed light on the agents of migration who enrolled peasants in Sicily and their transnational connections with labour recruiters based in Louisiana, offering the first comprehensive study of early Sicilian migration to Louisiana through an interdisciplinary approach combining social, economic, and cultural history with literature.
