Research groups
Work
I am a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Education of the University of Bergen. My primary research interests lie at the intersections of inclusion and diversity, educational policy, and teacher training. In my Ph.D. work, I am exploring how teachers in Norwegian and Italian secondary schools understand the inclusion process of minority language students in their everyday professional lives. The project, which adopts a qualitative approach grounded in Jerome Bruner’s socio-constructivist perspective, investigates how teachers make sense of inclusion through narratives and how these narratives resonate with broader policy discourses.
Beyond my Ph.D. research, I have also engaged in studies on religious pluralism and diversity in educational contexts. Currently, I am involved in the inter-university research project Immagio, which employs a quantitative, survey-based approach to explore the narratives that populate youth imaginaries.
I am a member of the research group Founded, led by Line T. Hilt and focused on foundational questions in pedagogy from the perspectives of philosophy, the humanities, and the social sciences. I am also part of the research group RES - Ricerche Educative con le Scuole, led by Michele Caputo, which is dedicated to developing educational research with schools through collaborative and inclusive methodologies.
Teaching
As a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Bergen, I currently work in the Teacher Education program, where I teach pedagogical subjects and seminars and support pre-service teachers during their internships. I have also taught History, Philosophy, and Special Needs Education in Italian secondary schools, as well as pedagogical and didactic subjects at the University of Bologna (as a teaching tutor for the General Pedagogy course) and the Theological Faculty of Emilia-Romagna (as a university lecturer).
