Allesandro Angelini
Graduate Teaching Fellow in Sociology
Alessandro Angelini is a graduate teaching fellow at Baruch and a Ph.D.
candidate in Cultural Anthropology at the CUNY Graduate Center. His research
interests include Urbanization and Public memory, particularly in cities
which have suffered some kind of social trauma which is (or is not) becoming
memorialized in urban space.
Additional academic interests include comparative
literature (especially of and about cities), linguistics, colonial and
postcolonial histories, and development in the Global South.
Angelini holds a Masters (MSc 2003) in urban geography from the London School of
Economics and Political Science. His dissertation for the Cities, Space and
Society program investigated memory and redevelopment in District Six, a
multiethnic inner-city quarter of Cape Town, South Africa, demolished under
apartheid urban policy.
