About the Speaker
Dr Alessandra Radicati Di Brozolo, Prof Maurizio Marinelli
Dr Alessandra Radicati is Research Project Officer at IGP, working with the PROCOL UK team on a number of projects, including the Prosperity in East London longitudinal study. Her research applies an ethnographic perspective to urban development, dispossession, inequality and infrastructure in Colombo (Sri Lanka) and London (UK). She received her PhD at the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2018. Her work has been published in Contemporary South Asia, Antipode and Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, and she is currently writing a book about crisis and development in post-conflict Colombo.
At IGP, Prof Maurizio Marinelli leads the Asia Prosperity Research Hub (APRH) whose aim is to critically engage with the conceptualisation of prosperity in Asia, and the relevant sustainable pathways to prosperity, understanding the economic and social value systems, while taking into consideration country-specific historical conjunctures and cultural features of the Asian countries.
