Research: Ph.D student in Sociology under the
supervision of Michel Wieviorka and Antimo L. Farro. The subject
of the thesis is a comparison between anti-globalisation and anti-war
movements in Italy, France and England, mainly focusing on the
aspects of the subjectivity participation and the networks construction.
The research, linked to a wider European research developed in
different European countries, deals with the attempt of finding
a new theoretical approach to the study of social movements, trying
to highlight the cultural aspects that these movements carry out.
The research is leaded through different methodologies, such as
participant observation, interviews, questionnaires and sociological
intervention. Regarding England, the survey will be mainly focused
on the participation of the ethnic minorities group on these movements.

Research: Ph.D student in Sociology under the
supervision of Michel Wieviorka. The subject deals with the question
of racism from the victims' standpoint. The main purpose of the
research is to map the patterns of their formulations through
three distinct argumentative
frames - subjectivity, participation and identity. This extends
to an exploration of how victims try individually or collectively
to make their lives a narrative, giving each action significance
in situations which are returned to them in varying degrees of
contempt.
Those interested in the Marie Curie Training
Site will find at CRER a great opportunity to study migration,
ethnic relations and broaden their knowledge in a centre where
many events take place. CRER offers such advantages as the possibility
to attend its seminars, research meetings, conferences and also
other lectures from the Sociology department.
Moreover, Ph.D students can benefit from the supervision of a
researcher, renewing and orienting their perspective. The Centre
enables the sharing of ideas with researchers from many countries
in a friendly while productive atmosphere.
