Description
In 2011, I graduated in Southwest Asia: Language, Culture and Institutions at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (modern Hebrew language and literature). I hold a PhD in Social and Historical Anthropology (EHESS Toulouse, 2015) and in Languages and Civilisations of Asia and North Africa (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, 2015). As shown in my publications, I am interested in performances of memories and identities (literary sources and oral sources) in the context of postcolonial migrations, in particular from the Middle East and North Africa region (Jews from Iraq, Jews from Libya). I have a passion for stories and creative mapping, art-based research and co-creation (creative mapping). I am committed to study migrations in the past to better understand contemporary issues of borders and boundaries, human mobility, and multiple belongings. I am currently Rita Levi Montalcini Assistant Professor at the Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca\' Foscari University of Venice.
