Elena dell'Agnese teaches political geography and cultural geography at the University of Milano-Bicocca, where she is also Director of the Centre of Visual Research. Her work has been mainly focused on developing a wide-spectrum approach to "peripheral geographies". For this reason, she is interested in any form of - apparently innocent - "geo-graphical representation", from movies to television drama, cartoons and popular music, with specific attention given to issues relating to politics, gender, and race. She publishes extensively on these topics, mostly in Italian and in English, but also in French, Spanish, Japanese, and Croatian. In 2009, she founded the Association of Italian Geographers Study Group on "Media and Geography", which she chaired until 2015. She is now Vice-President of the Società Geografica Italiana. In 2014, she was elected Vice-President of the International Geographical Union.
