It is well known that academic research is often self-referential. That’s why I focus on socially relevant topics, while also trying to circulate the results of my research beyond the academic environment. Sometimes, my research is featured in national newspapers and on radio or television. This is a collection of my interviews.
Come noto, la ricerca accademica è spesso auto-referenziale. Per evitare ciò, lavoro prevalentemente su temi socialmente rilevanti e, parallelamente, cerco di far circolare i risultati delle mie ricerche al di fuori del ristretto mondo accademico. Quando sono fortunato, le mie ricerche raggiungono anche i mass media nazionali. Raccolgo qui i miei interventi su stampa e televisioni nazionali.
