Greta Rauleac is a Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology and Social Anthropology at Central European University. Her doctoral research operates at the intersection of popular culture and urban studies, focusing on urban identity and the making of public spaces in urban areas in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. For her MA in the same discipline, she conducted an ethnographic study on squats within the framework of urban commons.
