Dr Nicola de Martini Ugolotti - Leisure and (forced) migration

This conversation is co- hosted by Prof Sandro Carnicelli and Prof Louise Mansfield. Today we will talk to Dr Nicola de Martini Ugolotti author of the book Music, Forced Migration and Emplacement. Nicola is senior lecturer in Sport and Physical Culture at Bournemouth University, and member of Associazione Frantz Fanon in Turin, Italy. He completed his PhD in Physical Cultural Studies at the University of Bath, after a MSc in Medical Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam, and several years of professional activity as a clinical psychologist with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Italy. His interdisciplinary research focuses on leisure and expressive forms of physicality as lenses to address the reciprocal constitution of bodies, spaces, power and subjectivities in contemporary contexts of (forced) migration, uneven urban changes, and social exclusion. Nicola is also an Associate Editor of both Leisure Sciences and the Leisure Studies journal.
