About the author: my name is Chiara Tornaghi. I am a scholar-activist, originally from Italy, living in the UK since 2006. I hold a PhD in Applied Sociology (University of Milano-Bicocca, 2005), a degree in Political Science (cum laude, State Univeristy of Milan, 2001), and a PgCert in European Spatial Planning (Newcastle University, UK, 2006). After working across several universities, in Italy (Politecnico di Milano, UNIMIB), Austria (TU Vienna) and the UK (University of Leeds), since 2015 I work at the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (Coventry University, UK), where I am Associate Professor in Urban Food Sovereignty and Resilience. My work is at the intersection between agroecological farmers movements and urban food justice and sovereignty movements; urban and peri-urban agriculture; political pedagogies for urban agroecology and the politics of prefiguration; feminist social reproduction and medicinal agroecological practices.
