Chiara is a Research Fellow at the Care Policy and Evaluation Centre (CPEC) at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Her work focuses on dementia care, informal care, and social and long-term care.
Her research interests include research ethics in collaborative research involving potentially vulnerable groups, intersectionality, health inequalities, and care technologies. She has also contributed to theoretical developments on unmet care needs and information work in health and social care. She has expertise in qualitative research methods, collaborative approaches to research (including co-creation and participatory action research), theory of change approaches, and the design and evaluation of complex interventions.
Chiara’s PhD explores co-creation in dementia care, drawing on a six-year action research project carried out within an English local health and care system.
