Claudia Minchilli
Claudia Minchilli is a Ph.D. candidate in the Media and Culture Department of the Humanities Faculty at Utrecht University. Her academic interests focus on the fields of migration, gender and digital media studies. She is working on the ERC consolidator project ‘Digital crossings in Europe: Gender, diaspora and belonging’ coordinated by Prof. Sandra Ponzanesi. Her research focuses on exploring the relationship between digital media practices and local intra-diasporic dynamics of women with a Somali, Romanian or Turkish background living in Rome. More specifically, she investigates how digital media usage and networking are connected to migrants’ social capital and in the articulation of social hierarchies and forms of solidarity within local diasporic communities.
