Anna Pereti is a PhD candidate in Political Sociology in cotutelle between Sciences Po and Luiss Guido Carli University in Rome. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Philosophy from the University of Florence and a Master of Research in Political Science from Sciences Po, where she wrote a master thesis on comparative political economy under the supervision of Colin Hay and Cyril Benoît. Before starting her doctoral studies, she completed a one-year research internship at the OECD, contributing to international policy projects on taxation and global governance.

She currently works as a Teaching Assistant for several undergraduate and graduate courses, including Political Sociology (Prof. Christian Joppke), State, Organized Crime and the Mafia (Prof. Federico Varese), and Research Methods for the Social Sciences (Profs. Asia Leofreddi, Elisabetta Mannoni, and Antonio Zinilli).

In her Master’s thesis, Anna investigated how political and economic institutions co-vary across advanced capitalist democracies. By questioning the predominantly economic reading of the Varieties of Capitalism framework, her work underscored the importance of integrating political dimensions into the study of capitalist variation.

Building on this research in comparative political economy, she developed a growing interest in how institutional structures and welfare arrangements shape social inclusion and migrant integration. Her doctoral project advances this line of inquiry by examining how housing policies shape the local integration of migrants in four European cities: Paris, Marseille, Rome, and Naples. Adopting a comparative perspective between France and Italy, the project explores how distinct welfare regimes and traditions of urban governance influence migrants’ spatial and social integration.

The research employs a mixed-methods design, combining document analysis, ethnographic fieldworks, semi-structured interviews, and quantitative data analysis. It engages with current debates on segmented and territorialized integration, at the crossroads of migration studies, political sociology, and public policy analysis. 

Anna’s work aligns with two of the main research axes of the CEE: Cities, borders and mobility

Dwelling the Gap: Housing as Urban Infrastructure of Migrant Integration co-supervised by Tommaso Vitale (Sciences Po, CEE, Urban School) and Kristina Stoeckl (Luiss).
