Arshia's PhD research revolves around three main axes:
- The changing notions, materialities, and practices of home in a mobile world, and the rise of temporary living arrangements.
- Discourses around everyday life, in particular 'art of living ('art de vivre'), the works of the French writer Georges Perec, and the concept of the infra-ordinary ('l'infra-ordinaire').
- An experimental empirical study that employs ethnographic and visual techniques to explore student bedrooms in Bologna and Copenhagen.
Supervisors: Annalisa Trentin (Unibo), Andrea Borsari (Unibo), and Henrik Reeh (UCPH).
