My research focuses on migration histories and the experiential qualities of place, developing a landscape specific contribution within a broad field of literature encompassing belonging and isolation, conviviality and racism, transnational connections and the shaping of cultures of use of public open space. I firmly believe in producing research in collaboration with others and I am committed to working with the professional and voluntary sector in all my research projects.
Through a number of research projects, these themes have been developed within two more specific strands: 1) Inclusive Public Open Spaces and 2) Diverse nature connections.

Milena is a Lecturer in Criminology and Sociology, at the University of Leicester (U.K.). Her research focuses on racialising and sex-gendering bordering practices between the Global North and the Global South and migrants' practices to resist those.
She conducted qualitative research in the field of criminalised migration with Nigerian women convicted of trafficking, Nigerian women identified as victims, and Italian and Nigerian stakeholders. She has collaborated with legal stakeholders to make more inclusive policies to support victims of trafficking in Italy, and disseminated her research with international organisations (e.g. U.N.).

More recently, she has developed an interest in issues of research ethics and positionality when working with migrants. So, she would love to have a chat and learn more about it!
