Research title: Innovation policies and accumulation strategies at the urban scale: economic, cultural and political factors. The case of Rome Technopole

I obtained my Master's degree in Applied Social Sciences (December 2019) from the Sapienza University of Rome, with a thesis entitled "Social reproduction: theory and research".

My main research interests concern technological innovation processes, studied from the point of view of the relationship between innovation policies and accumulation strategies implemented at the urban scale. The theoretical perspective is that of Cultural Political Economy, a transdisciplinary approach that focuses on the articulation between semiotic and structural aspects of social life, combining concepts from discursive analysis and political economy. My research focuses in particular on the context of Rome and the relationship between the processes of technological innovation and the transformations of its particular urban regime.
