Episode 117: Daniela Vicherat-Mattar (PhD European University Institute) convenes the Culture, History and Society major. Prior to joining LUC she was Marie-Curie Fellow at the School of History in Edinburgh University. Her research focuses on cities, citizenship and, more recently, care. She’s interested in exploring how dominant ideas about belonging translate in urban forms (like walls, public squares, markets, museums and third spaces) and through urban aesthetics (graffiti and street art). Studying the politics of belonging has led her to an interest in borders, particularly in relation to counter-hegemonic ideas and practices of citizenship and care. Her portfolio at LUC is to expand the inter- and cross- disciplinary aspects of the programme. In relation to this, she is drawn to thinking about the limits of disciplinary forms of knowledge and teaching in the search for a more socially and environmentally just university.

Recently she has been awarded a Global Transformations and Governance Challenges (GTGC) grant for an inter-faculty project titled The many faces of food markets during COVID-19: Stories of solidarity and change through and with food.
