Biographical Info
Ph.D. Student in Urban Anthropology at Doctoral School of Sociology, University of Bucharest.
* Teaching Assistant in the Department of Sociology and Social Work, University of Bucharest.
* Research assistant in architecture at `Ion Mincu University of Architecture and Urban Planning`.
* Co-founder of the Architectural Anthropology Research Workshop - Centre For Architectural and Urban Studies.
* Social Studies Coordinator UrbanizeHub
* Researcher and Community Catalyst at IntreVecini
* As Social Studies Coordinator for UrbanizeHub projects (https://urbanizehub.ro), I perceive space as a process, both from the material and human perspective, and try to understand local social contexts through exploratory and reflective approaches. The Social experience of the city means following the meanings and interactions, and that is why to achieve the objectives, tailor-made solutions to local issues are needed, as projects that are adapted to local circularities and an interdisciplinary perspective that also aim at a cultural change that will ultimately lead to behavioral change.
* Plenty of experience in co-creation, training, and facilitation processes, and multi-year experience in NGO management and development and implementation of collaborative urbanism projects, trying to identify the most appropriate ways to have an inclusive and cohesive local development that responds to each city's particular needs and takes into account the integration of marginalized groups. Built-up spaces must be constantly reconfigured to adapt to ever-changing requirements (economic crises, global warming, overcrowding, environmental damage, increased life expectancy, migratory flows, and technological innovations) and imply an interest in local, circular, and symbolic causality and presumes understanding and presentation of complexity.
