Research Interests: Domiziana is a DPhil Student in Migration Studies investigating how families shape and are shaped by onward migration. Her doctoral research focuses on the experiences of the families of onward Colombian migrants who moved from Spain to London.
Domiziana is also co-leading the project “Enhancing the impact of migration research with Latin Americans in London”, which seeks to understand the impact of Brexit and COVID-19 on London’s Latin American migrants by building links with the community through knowledge exchange and engagement activities.
As of September 2020, Domiziana was appointed as convener of the interdisciplinary Oxford Migration and Mobility Network which draws together researchers of migration and mobility from across the University of Oxford. Since 2019, she is also an active member of the IMISCOE PhD Network and editor at the Oxford Monitor of Forced Migration.
Domiziana completed her MPhil in Sociology at the University of Cambridge in July 2019 with a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. Prior to moving to the UK, she completed her BA in Liberal Arts and Science at Amsterdam University College, where for three years she ventured to understand the educational experiences and the peer culture of Moroccan-Dutch youth in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.
Research interests include: sociology of family, childhood, and education; transnational family studies; care and social reproduction theory; and participatory methodologies.
