Scuola Superiore Meridionale and University of Naples, Federico II. Ph.D. Thesis: Owners and Citizens. Property Rights and Citizenship of the German Ex-Enemy Aliens (1918-1932), supervisor Professor Daniela L. Caglioti (Scuola Superiore Meridionale, Napoli). In his research, he aims to examine the relationship between property rights and citizenship in the case of the former German enemy aliens who had been persecuted with the internment and the deprivation of goods by the Entente countries during WWI and in the aftermath of the conflict. In particular, by tracking down the fate of confiscated properties in Western Europe, Poland and the United States, he highlights how the economic persecution impacted the boundaries of national belonging in terms of exclusion and inclusion, as well as in the relationship between Germany and its citizens living abroad, during the interwar period.
