Her project, ‘Divieto dare da Mangiare’: Disposability, Anti-Migrant Angst & Policing the Edible in Italy, examines Ventimiglia’s municipal ban on feeding refugees camped along the town’s beaches while awaiting border crossing. The project aims to prove unique and important transnational food, discard and gender studies scholarship given the ways in which activists within and beyond Italy’s borders have responded to the ban.
