Hello and welcome!
I just completed my PhD in the International Relations Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), where I currently am a Fellow, and I am currently on the 2024-2025 job market seeking a postdoc in North America. I am also an Associate Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Comparative Politics and International Relations, and my work has thus far centered on the political economy of transnational actors, dynamics and processes including those relating to displacement and migration, the politics of aid, and social protection programs in fragile, conflict and violence affected states. The research agenda I aim to pursue advances my current work, but also seeks to advance pressing questions about democratic and authoritarian processes in both higher- and lower-income contexts. While I have mainly worked in the Global South, I am interested in studying these subjects in a much wider range of contexts where they also have applicability. For a more detailed synopsis of my professional experience and research, please see my About page.
Please feel free to get in touch by email at a.c.della-guardia@lse.ac.uk. NB: LSE adds a hyphen to my surname when there is none, and if you are kindly wondering about pronunciation, it’s Gua (as in guava)-r-dee-uh (as in up).
