Victoria Donnaloja

Victoria Donnaloja is an Early Career Leverhulme Fellow in the department of Sociology at the University of Essex. She completed her PhD in the department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics and spent a year at the European University Institute as a Max Weber Fellow. Her previous research investigates how the function of citizenship is changing in response to migration, both for immigrants and for the majority population. Most recently, she has contributed new evidence on public attitudes on territorial birthright citizenship reform for Italy. In her new Leverhulme funded project she investigates attitudes of inclusion more generally to understand why they change from one generation to the next. She examines if and how education drives these generational shifts. Her research has been published in the European Sociological Review and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, among others.
