Junior assistant professor at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna.
After completing my PhD in Sociology in 2017, I have been a research fellow on the project titled Forms and dynamics of discrimination, intolerance and hate speech in the youth population in Italy at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna (2018-2019), and on the HousINgBO Project (2019-2021), a laboratory on student housing conditions in Bologna, promoted by the Municipality of Bologna and the University of Bologna, and coordinated by the Urban Innovation Foundation. I am currently Junior assistant professor in relation to the project Cultures and Practices of Sustainability in Ecological Transition.
Migration issues, higher education, hate speech and prevention of youth radicalization are my main fields of research. In particular, I am interested in the analysis of the forms of conflict, intolerance and discrimination practices based on explicit and implicit stereotypes (ethnic, gender and sexuality related): with this aim I conducted several research on (and with) second-generation of migrants, focusing mostly on their participation to promote issues of solidarity, integration, social cohesion in several action-research projects. I currently conduct research on the studentification process within urban contexts, aimed at studying the housing choices of off-site university students; the impact on the socio-economic and cultural side of the student residential concentration in particular districts of the city; possible intervention policies aimed at facilitating access to a fair rent and promoting quality housing conditions for students. At the same time, I'm investigating aspects related to the experiences and coping strategies implemented by university students following the emergence of an extraordinary situation such as the Covid-19 pandemic. I am concurrently conducting a survey - across the country - to investigate the behaviors and habits of citizens, so as to identify factors associated with environmental sustainability practices, while delving into the meanings attributed to these practices.
I conduct research mainly through mixed methods, using qualitative (biographical interviews, focus group and participant observation) and quantitative (questionnaires) methodologies, and I have good expertise in data analysis. I have taken part to several national and international research, including several European projects.

Project “Cultures and practices of sustainability in the ecological transition – Citizen agency and territorial governance models in waste management: a comparative analysis of accountability tools and processes in metropolitan areas in Italy”
University of Bologna (Italy)
As Junior assistant professor at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna (Italy), I am conducting a survey - on the national territory - aimed at studying the behaviors and habits of citizens, to be able to identify the factors associated with environmental sustainability practices, while delving into the meanings attributed to these practices. A special focus is placed on the student population, which several surveys have already identified as particularly sensitive to these issues: some of the main dimensions investigated are the diffusion of sustainable practices and behaviors - with particular attention to those related to separate waste collection -, level of knowledge of the topic and related information sources, value orientations - with particular reference to climate change and participatory practices. Supervisor: Prof. Nicola De Luigi.
2.12.2019 - 1.12.2021
Project “The studentification process in the universities cities: the impact of student residential concentration in bologna”
University of Bologna (Italy)
As postdoc at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna (Italy), I’m involved in the conduction of a mixed-method study on the studentification process in Bologna. The study, within the HousINgBO Project, a laboratory on student housing conditions in Bologna promoted by the Municipality of Bologna and the University of Bologna, in collaboration with the Student Council and the Urban Innovation Foundation, aims to investigate the housing conditions of students enrolled at the University of Bologna and, in particular, the difficulties encountered in finding accommodation, the socio-economic and cultural impact of the student residential concentration and possible policies to be adopted. With the emergence of the pandemic situation, the research aimed to deepen the students’ condition in a more articulated way at the time of Covid-19, investigating aspects (well-being, experience of distance learning, expectations) related to experiences and strategies of coping implemented by the students. I am working in collaboration with Prof. Nicola De Luigi (Tutor).
20.03.2020 - 31.08.2020
Project “RaP – Rhizome Against Polarization”
Fondazione WE WORLD GVC ONLUS (Italy)
As expert researcher, I have been in charge of conducting a study in order to analyze the forms of conflict, intolerance and discrimination mainly based on gender and ethnicity, and in order to promote practices of contrast to the phenomena of polarization, radicalization and violent extremism that came to light in Italy in recent years. The project focuses mainly on the analysis of the presence of violent extremist movements in Italy from the late ’90s and on the factors that cause forms of extremist behavior, with particular attention to their spread among the youth population. Particular attention is paid to the different Addressing Factors (Drivers of Violent Extremism) contained in the Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism, related both to conducive conditions and structural context (lack of socio-economic opportunities; marginalization and discrimination; poor governance and violation of human rights; unresolved conflict; radicalization in prisons) and to the specific processes of radicalization (individual backgrounds and motivations; collective grievances and motivations; distortion and misuse of beliefs, political ideologies, ethnic and cultural differences; leadership and social networks). In addition to the research activity, as part of this project I coordinated:
- the Winter School in "Prevention of extremism and violent radicalization” (15.01.2021 - 30.01.2021), with 35 participants (social workers, students, teachers and educators) interested in better understanding the youth dynamics of radicalization and polarization, the signals to be taken into consideration and the tools to prevent and contrast these dynamics;
- the Round Table “What strategies for the prevention of youth radicalization? Educational and community work for the city of young people” (19.03.2021).

Project “Shaping Fair Cities: Integrating Agenda 2030 within local policies in times of great migration and refugee flows ”
University of Bologna (Italy)
I have been in charge of conducting a quantitative study in order to investigate public opinion on SDG (Sustainable Development Goals), mainly focused on the perception of migratory phenomena and related local policies with respect to gender equality. The aim of the project, funded by the European Commission - DEAR (Development Education and Awareness Raising) Program, was to create peaceful and inclusive societies, to promote inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable cities and were focused on the actions to be implemented in order to fight climate change. To investigate citizens’ opinion and knowledge about the SDGs, migration, gender equality, climate change, and the role their city should play for sustainable development, a survey was run between July and September 2018 by twelve of the Shaping Fair Cities (SFC) project partners.
15.05.2018 – 15.05.2019
Project “Forms and dynamics of discrimination, intolerance and hate speech in the youth population in italy”
University of Bologna (Italy)
As postdoc at the Department of Political and Social Sciences of the University of Bologna (Italy), I have been involved in the conduction of a mixed-method research focused on the diffusion of hate speech among students enrolled in secondary school in four different Italian local contexts: Bologna, Naples-Caserta, Palermo and Verona. The final aim of the study, within the Facciamo Tombola Project, funded by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, was to better understand these dynamics in order to promote practices of opposition to the phenomena of discrimination, intolerance and incitement to hatred that emerged in Italy in recent years. To pursue the research objective, some of the main educational organizations and associations operating in the four areas have been involved: 57 individual interviews and 5 focus group have been carried out in this phase. The quantitative research was carried out through the administration of an online survey to over 4,500 secondary school students. The main topics investigated were: the use of internet and social networks; the on-line and off-line spread of offensive messages or comments; the different degree of acceptability and tolerance towards verbal violence compared to the physical one; attitudes towards migratory phenomena, gender roles and sexual orientation. I have worked in collaboration with Prof. Marco Borraccetti and Prof. Nicola De Luigi.

The main objective of the ArtsTogether project was to create specific measures that target migrant children in early childcare and primary education, aiming to provide comprehensive support to eliminate the educational disadvantage they experience and cultural barriers. The survey that involved two of the five countries participating in the project (Italy and Greece) had the goals to analyze the challenges encountered by migrant children in learning process and social integration at schools; to identify specific learning and cultural barriers inside the educational system; to examine and analyze best practices; to examine social inclusion methods through artistic and intercultural activities at schools. The research project was coordinated by Prof. Debora Mantovani.

After deepening and exploring the issues to be investigated from an intra-generational perspective (with young people and adults separately), visions and expectations were compared from an inter-generational point of view. The goal was to propose participatory reflection and planning with the new generations, central actors of the dynamics of interaction and social cohesion of the territory, offering food for thought coming directly from the youngest and related to the challenges that characterize the social context they live in. The research project was coordinated by Prof. Alessandro Martelli (University of Bologna).

Project “Second-generation migrants and higher education: opportunities and challenges” (Phd research project)
University of Bologna (Italy)
During my Phd, I have carried out a research on the presence of second-generation students in Italian Universities: after a contextualization from a numerical point of view, paying attention to the role played by variables such as age, gender, and the previous educational path at the time of the transition to Higher Education, the research focused on the case-study of the University of Bologna. The aim has been to describe the opportunities and the difficulties of second-generation students enrolled at the university: to achieve this goal, the research path has been divided into two different levels, a quantitative and a qualitative one, according to the mixed methods approach. Starting from the 537 questionnaires and the 30 interviews collected, the study highlighted the students’ motivations for the choice of long-term educational paths and the role played by family, teachers and educational institutions in inspiring that choice. The research has been conducted under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Zurla.
