our founder
Identitaria Consulting was founded by Dr Emanuelle Degli Esposti, a leading expert in issues of identity, diversity, and praxes of coexistence. With degrees from the University of Oxford and SOAS, University of London, followed by over a decade of experience in high-stakes relationship management across the worlds of intelligence, academia, and journalism, Dr Degli Esposti has long had her finger on the pulse of identity-interplay and is on a mission to secure interpersonal harmony for her clients. Complementing her consulting and speaking work, she has published widely across topics of identity politics, sectarianism, activism, pluralism, coexistence, and minority- and ethno-religious conflict, with a special interest in Muslim minorities and issues of refugee integration. Recent years have seen her supervising students and undertaking outreach for the Centre of Islamic Studies and Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, University of Cambridge, where she also holds positions as a Visiting Fellow of the Woolf Institute and a Research Associate of St John’s College. She recently oversaw the successful completion of a major report for the Commission on the Integration of Refugees, including presenting the Commission’s findings to Parliament and the Home Office. She is currently a member of an international team of scholars engaged in the ERC-funded project Praxis of Coexistence, for which she is focusing on intersections of identity in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The demands of fieldwork have brought Dr Degli Esposti into intimate contact with cultures across the world, notably in the Middle East, Western Europe, and, most recently, the Balkans. She is fluent in English, French, and Italian, and is a lifelong student of Arabic.
