Curriculum vitae
After pursuing a master’s degree in Japanese Studies at Ca’ Foscari, University of Venice, Annalisa has accomplished a Ph.D. in human geography at The Open University, UK. She has then consolidated her expertise in cultural and urban geography during a fellowship at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USA. Before joining the Department of Economics at Ca’ Foscari, she has been working for more than eight years at the Department of Geography and Regional Science, University of Graz, Austria.
Annalisa’s research profile combines a background in cultural geography applied to topics such as place-marketing, commodification and branding processes, the geographies of consumption, the intra-scalar registers of local development, the bioeconomy, and the diverse economy. More recently, she has been working at the intersection of economic geography, animal geographies and the geographies of food adopting a more-than-human approach inspired by biopolitical thought. Her research is interdisciplinary and published in Italian, English and German.
Annalisa has experience in teaching courses and seminars such as ‘geographies of tourism and leisure’, ‘sustainable tourism’, ‘spaces of consumption’, ‘urban and regional development’, ‘nature, technology and the economy: following commodities’, ‘nature and the city’, ‘technical English in contemporary human and cultural Geography’, ‘qualitative research methods for the social sciences’. She has received funding for research and didactic projects, including two grants by the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MIUR), within the programme for Italian researchers working overseas ‘Messengers of Knowledge’. She acts as a reviewer for several international journals and the MIUR.
Annalisa has supervised several master’s and bachelor’s dissertations on topics such as place branding, gentrification and urban regeneration, cultural and mega-events, alternative food networks, organic food consumption and production, urban gardening, the consumption of fashion, alternative forms of mobility and of the economy and, more generally, on commodities analysed through the follow-the-things approach.
