Biography
 

I am an LSE Fellow in the Government Department, teaching Research Methodology, R programming, and Applied Maths. I earned a DPhil in Politics at the University of Oxford in March 2024. My research so far investigates strategies to increase public attention to marginalised interests, as well as marginalised groups' political engagement. I have worked with NGOs, non-profit and advocacy groups to study how they use awareness-raising campaigns to change attitudes and behaviours towards/of marginalised groups. Broadly speaking, I'm interested in campaigns advocating for the equality of women, gender and sexual minorities, ethnic minorities, religious minorities, individuals with disabilities, individuals with mental health conditions and the poor. In my research, I employ quantitative methods of causal inferences and experimental methods. I graduated cum laude from the University of Milan and I have an interdisciplinary background in sociology, communication, and of course, political science.

 

Meet me!

 

I'm a coffee lover who spends most of her time reading, writing at her computer or planning the best thing to do to increase equality.

 

During my rare breaks, I like to dedicate time to myself, practising some yoga or ice skating. I'm also an art lover and my ideal weekend trip consists of visiting a world capital with exciting contemporary art galleries, sipping on an almond cappuccino while I do some thrifting, and ending my day at a concert. At a certain point in my life, I was on the path to obtaining a Bachelor's in Jazz from the prestigious Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi in Milano.

 

If you're wondering about the handsome chap below, his name is Matteo and he's a two-year-old Jack Russell that fills my heart with love and joy every time I return to my homeland. He's a woke dog that in the blink of an eye learnt to give me his paw to the words "pro-choice".
