Natasha D. Aidoo is a PhD candidate in Political Science and Sociology at the Scuola Normale Superiore, and a member of the Center on Social Movement Studies (COSMOS).

Her research project explores the field of feminist urbanism in Barcelona and Berlin. With a focus on feminist identities and practices. Groups dedicated to feminist urbanism are at the center of her research. On the one hand, the aim is to understand how the individual and collective levels of feminist identity  intertwine and affect collective action. Since the urban space plays a key role in the reproduction of gender inequalities, violence, and discrimination. On the other, the city also represents a site of resistance, action, and empowerment. Thus, the focus is on the practices and the discourses adopted by these groups. As they challenge and offer alternatives to how the built environment  is and can be perceived.

Natasha holds a BA in International Studies (Political sciences and Sociology from the
University of Trento) and a MA cum laude in International Development and Cooperation
(from the University of Siena).

Research interests: feminist urbanism, decolonial feminism, feminist spatial practices, and urban sociology
