Background
Stefano holds a joint doctorate in Cultural and Global Criminology from the University of Kent and Universität Hamburg. His PhD thesis critically examines the maker movement – an international network of people (makers) who make things using digital fabrication tools, such as 3D printers and laser cutters – and its goal to democratize access to technology. Stefano's work frequently ventures beyond the conventional boundaries of criminology into the fields of science and technology studies and the philosophy of technology.
