TAIA

“Transnational Aging between Italy and Africa: Anthropological Perspectives” (TAIA) a two-year PRIN PNRR research project.

“Transnational Aging between Italy and Africa: Anthropological Perspectives” (TAIA)

TAIA brings together anthropologists of the Universities of Pavia, Milano-Bicocca, and Bologna to address the intersections between aging and migration in the transnational space that links Italy to the African continent. It focuses both on elderly Italians living in Tunisia and Senegal as well as on elderly members of the Tunisian and Senegalese diasporas in Italy. By exploring migratory trajectories in later life, collecting family and life histories, and conducting fieldwork research in urban and “inner areas”, this research project will provide original ethnographic material on aging and migration of academic and policy relevance.
