Research Interests

I am interested in economic diversity, both in its organisational and aesthetic expressions. In my view, an ethics of care might also be pursured by learning from uncaring/violent relations, which is why the types of economic organisation I focus on tend to be criminalised, illicit or generally considered undesirable. I am inspired by post-structural approaches to economy, criminology and cultural studies, and am invested in building theoretical connections between these and the sociology of collective action and political theory. I am currently carrying out a postdoctoral project that seeks to map out gang economies in Denmark. At the same time, I am working on a book that traces Italian efforts to counter mafias through economic organisation. As an activist, I am also involved in training young tour guides on the curation of a "Ghetto" tour, aimed at destigmatising communities living in areas of Copenhagen that cohabit with criminal groups, and developing "safe snitching" practices.
