She studies the transformation of rituals of death and commemoration and the way to copying with loss through the digital rituals, as well as the contemporary demand for immortality. Another field of interest is the social effects of digital technologies especially linked to mobility condition. Currently, Fiorenza Gamba focuses her research on urban identity, inclusion and urban ritual. This is also the subject of her recent project “UNIC Unexpected Inclusions: Migration, Mobility and the Open City”, founded by Swiss National Science Foundation in partnership with Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research under the Lead Agency process.

Justus Uitermark is an urban geographer and political sociologist. He is a professor of Urban Geography at the University of Amsterdam. As a relational sociologist, he focuses on networks: what sorts of networks do people form to resolve their collective problems and achieve their goals vis-à-vis others? With a background in human geography, he is particularly interested how different kinds of environments mediate collective action.
Uitermark has a long-standing interest in the roles of cities as terrains of political struggle. He has written extensively on the origins and effects of urban policies. His most recent book, Cities and Social Movement (co-authored with Walter Nicholls), examines under what conditions specific neighborhoods or cities grow into hotbeds of activism. His current research project, between Collectivity and Enclosure, examines how power relations change under conditions of rapid urbanization.
Some of Uitermark’s more recent work examines social media platforms facilitate challenges against the status quo or breed conformity. In particular, he studies how digital platforms like Instagram or Facebook change the way we navigate, use, and shape urban space.
