Research interests

My research, embedded in comparative welfare studies, focusses on the relationship between changes in social policies and in social practices with a specific interest in the interaction between care, employment and migration regimes. In this framework, she has conducted research particularly on long-term policies and practices, on cash for care schemes, on migrant care work.
In my work, I combines qualitative, quantitative and mixed-methods.

I am the scientific coordinator of the Horizon Europe Project LeT-Care (Learning from Long-Term Care practices for the European Care Strategy), which studies contextualised care practices and policy learning models. She is also the Principal Investigator of the project NExt-Genereation Europe- funded QWoRe (Quality of Work in Residential long-term care services in Italy: determinants and strategies)
