In short
Chiara holds a BA degree in Political Sciences from the University of Roma Tre in Rome and a MSc degree in Environmental Governance from the University of Freiburg. Since June 2019, she is researcher in the project “KASCoP” at the chair of Environmental Governance at the University of Freiburg.
Her current research focuses on structural changes in markets investigating the dynamic interactions between elements that “perform” a market - actors as well as material elements. In doing so, a particular focus is set on development of market practices analyzing market dynamics from an historical and sociological point of view. From this perspective, she investigates the potential of different governance approaches to bring changes in market practices for a more efficient use of natural resources.
