Profile
Emanuele Amo is currently a Post-Doctoral Research Associate in Human Geography at Aberystwyth University's Department of Geography and Earth Sciences. Prior to this, he was an Associate Lecturer in Human Geography at Aberystwyth University and an Associate Researcher at the University of Eastern Piedmont – Department of Economics and Business Studies.
Emanuele's research focuses on rural and political geography, with a particular interest in how rural spaces are produced, contested, and mobilized in relation to political and social processes. He is currently working on the Rural Spatial Justice Project, a five-year European Research Council Advanced Grant funded under the UKRI Frontier Research Guarantee. The project investigates how rural discontent and perceptions of spatial injustice shape dynamics of disruptive politics, analyzing the impact of rural grievances on local social dynamics and advancing the study of electoral geographies through new conceptual and methodological approaches.
Emanuele has a PhD in Human Geography from Aberystwyth University, funded by the AberDoc Scholarship, a MSc in Human Geography from the University of Bristol, and a BA in Humanities from the University of Turin.
