Personal profile
Research interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Erasmus Institute on Culture and Stratification, part of the Governance and Pluralism team at Erasmus University of Rotterdam. I work on the project “Understanding the different meanings of climate change among the public” (CLIMEANING), a comparative, mixed-methods project aiming at understanding the different meanings attributed to climate change in the Netherlands and Italy.
I consider my research interests broad and interdisciplinary, ranging from political sociology to social psychology and communications. In the past, I’ve worked on several topics, such as political stereotypes, politicians’ communication online, privacy protection behavior online, and political talk show pundits in Italy.
