Profile
Stefania Animento is an urban sociologist. She completed her PhD at Humboldt Universität and at University of Milan Bicocca in 2019. In her dissertation, she researched the access to work and housing of young Italians who moved to Berlin in the wake of the financial and euro crisis. She focused on the relationship between social class and migration/mobility.
She is currently working on the project "Platform Labour in Urban Spaces" (PLUS), which investigates the transformation of labour in digital platforms. She is interested in the impact of digitalisation on the city, migration, labour and social class.
Stefania Animento has taught at Humboldt University, Evangelische Hochschule Berlin and Bard College, and is a member of the Fairwork Network, the Urban and Regional Sociology section of DGS and SISEC (Italian Society for Economic Sociology).
