Antonella explores sustainability governance in the field of water and sanitation, but also of energy and waste. Currently, she is focusing on the scale of communities and on experimental practices of commons-based governance from a political and ethical point of view.

To investigate these territories, she mixes qualitative methods (e.g., ethnography) with quantitative techniques (e.g., multiple-correspondence).
