I like writing, and I’ve had the opportunity to experiment with it through media and contexts. As part of an internship program during my bachelor’s, I was an editorial assistant at Centro Studi Politeia, Università Degli Studi di Milano. During my PhD in Edinburgh, I edited and chaired the CoBra Network Research Blog. I also took part as an editor and writer for Echoraffiche, a slow-journalism online magazine and cultural organisation based in Brescia. In 2024, I contributed to one of the weekly editions of D - La Repubblica.
Here are some selected pieces published for Echoraffiche (in Italian):
- Usare la scienza come strumento politico
- Gender data gap ed essenzialismo, cosa evitare per far fronte comune
- Ripensare il lavoro: di come il tempo è spazio di potere, e di come farlo nostro
I also enjoy creating spaces for young researchers and writers by organising small-scale events.
Here are some selected examples:
- Writing hours and social activities for PhD students in Psychology. Writing hours are open, hybrid sessions where students can meet to write, discuss their writing process and ask for help [Organiser, with Esperanza Badaya, @University of Edinburgh]
- LINk2022, a two-day event, targeting postgraduate students and early-stage career researchers who are interested in the Psychology of Language [Organiser, with Esperanza Badaya, @University of Edinburgh]
- (Mis)alignment in Alignment Research, a two-day workshop to discuss alignment, the related terminology and how scientists study alignment in interaction [Organiser with Lena Huttner and Joanna Kruyt, @Aix-Marseille University]
- Psycholinguistics Coffee, an informal meeting to discuss Psycholinguistic research, presented by internal or external postgraduate students and early career researchers. Talks include published research, work in progress, and practice runs for conference presentations [Organiser and moderator, with Esperanza Badaya, Nora Kennis and Shuting Chen]
- EchoCollettivi, a collection of 30 associations, groups and collectives that - at various levels - embrace the community and mobilise towards environmental, social, artistic and cultural causes [Organiser]
- Il Giornale degli Studenti, Infromagiovani Brescia, a project to bring our knowledge of how to create, build and run an online magazine and to independently create a space for the voices of our generation to high school students in Brescia [Organiser and speaker].
