Filippo Oncini

The Food Charities project had a kick-off meeting on Sept 24th at the Maastricht Sustainability Institute! PI Filippo Oncini @pipponcini.bsky.social gave a project overview, & postdoc Alejandro Ciordia @alexciordia.bsky.social presented on Events Sequence Analysis (key method for research module 1).

The special issue, co-edited by @pipponcini.bsky.social and Roberto Sensi, invites contributions that move beyond emergency food aid to critically interrogate different forms of food support and how the very nature of food insecurity in high-income countries should be conceptualized and understood.

Some belated professional news:

A few months ago I started working as a postdoc at Maastricht University on the exciting ERC project @erc-foodcharities.bsky.social led by @pipponcini.bsky.social

Really happy to be part of this international team, based at the Maastricht Sustainability Institute!

Food Charities - At the heart of food support lies a web of relations Food Charities aims to uncover how these connections build, sustain, transform, and at times hinder responses to food insecurity across different contexts.

We are now on Bluesky 🎉

Using a comparative and relational approach, the Food Charities project explores how charitable food provision operates in urban spaces in different welfare and civil society contexts: Italy, Japan, and the Netherlands.
