Dr. Elisa Fiore is Assistant Professor of Urban Geography at the department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning. Working at the intersection of urban geography, gender studies, and sensory studies, she has specialised in the study of contemporary structures of social inequality and how they become spatialised through bodies and embodied practice. Prior to joining Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, Fiore received her PhD from Radboud ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ Nijmegen with a research project investigating how the race-, gender-, and class-based exclusions brought forward through gentrification are experienced, constituted, and reproduced through embodiment and sensory attunement to place. Fiore is currently developing a new research line focusing on the contentious spatiality of reproductive politics in Europe. Building on a Starting Grant for her project on the scalar entanglements of gender, (urban) space, and morality in Dutch abortion clinic buffer zone debates, Fiore has recently been awarded a Veni grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) to advance a critical geography of abortion at home in the Netherlands and Italy.
