Nicola De Martini Ugolotti is senior lecturer in Sport and Physical Activity at Bournemouth University, and member of Associazione Frantz Fanon in Turin, Italy. He completed his PhD in Physical Cultural Studies at the University of Bath, after a MSc in Medical Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam, and several years of professional activity as a clinical psychologist with migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Italy. His interdisciplinary research focuses on leisure and expressive forms of physicality (from capoeira and parkour, to dance, theatre and music-making) as lenses to address the reciprocal constitution of bodies, spaces, power and subjectivities in contemporary contexts of migration, uneven urban (re)development, and social exclusion. His work has been published in Leisure Studies, Patterns of Prejudice, the International Review for the Sociology of Sports, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, and City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action.
