She held previous academic positions as Lecturer in International Politics at Newcastle University (UK), as Marie Sklodowska-Curie Global Fellow at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, Harvard University (USA), and as Post-doctoral Associate at the University of Sheffield (UK).

Research interests

Lorenza's research has addressed questions around the ethnic politics of socio-environmental conflicts, the domestic politics of human rights of vulnerable groups (including indigenous peoples, domestic workers and working children), and, more recently, the contentious politics of wildfires. She has also worked on the post-2015 development agenda and the challenges of fostering engagement from the Global South within the Sustainable Development Goals.

Her work is highly multidisciplinary, drawing from comparative politics and international relations, sociological approaches to collective action, and critical development theories.
