Niccolò Cuppini is researcher at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland. He collaborates with many international projects in Africa, Latin America and Japan and works in the Horizon 2020 project PLUS (Platform Labour in Urban Spaces). His research focuses on the intersection between history of political thought, geography, critical logistics and urban studies. He collaborates with the Academy of Global Humanities and Critical Theory, the journal Scienza&Politica, the research collective Into the Black Box.

Into the Black Box is a collective project of trans-disciplinary research promoted by activists and scholars. Planetary logistics, platforms, digital transformations, labour organisation/struggles, and urbanisation processes are the main lenses through which Into the Black Box elaborates a critical analysis and interpretation of contemporary social, economic, and political dynamics.
