I am Francesco Colona and in my PhD project I am working on public and private security assemblages and their reconfiguration of citizenship in the city of Nairobi. After a Bachelor degree in Sociology and Social Research at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”, I completed a Research Master in Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam, specializing in Conflict Studies.  In my master research project, I studied the organizational strategies of rebel groups and their patterns of violence against civilians in the Democratic Republic of Congo.  I conducted experts’ interviews during two months of fieldwork in the east of the DRC. My current project on security assemblages gives me the opportunity to combine my academic expertise, both at a theoretical and methodological level, and my personal interests together with my previous work experience in the cooperation sector.
