Profile

Situated at the intersection of geography, political economy and cultural studies, Giulia’s research looks at genealogies and the contemporary dimensions of financialisation and at its political effects. She is interested in exploring how financial capital deploys in post-socialist contexts, and how it reshuffles the relationship between market and non-market spaces, states and societies, as well as capital and labour.

Before joining the GEOFIN research team Giulia worked in both China and Australia on a variety of cultural and academic projects. From 2008 to 2013 she worked at the IsIAO (Istituto Italiano per l’Africa e l’Oriente) Shanghai office, managing documentary production as well as research projects on Chinese contemporary society. At the University of Western Sydney her Doctoral Project concerned Chinese financialisation and its ‘mass dimension.’ Her thesis concerned the shaping of a new Chinese state-finance nexus and its new redistributive function and how the opening of the Chinese stock market was accompanied by the rise of a new financialised subjectivity. During and after her PhD she worked as a lecturer in Sociology at the University of Western Sydney and she worked on the Project “Real Estate Investment, Brokerage Assemblages and Asian Mobilities” at the University of Sydney.
