Along with being part of the department of sociology, I am a member of the Mitchell Centre for Social Network Analysis, where I organise the weekly seminar series. I teach introductory and advance workshops in social network analysis and egonetworks, and on mixed methods in SNA. Before arriving in Manchester in 2008, I worked as research fellow at University of Turin and University of Bozen, Italy. I completed my Ph.D in Sociology and Methodology of Social Research in 2006 at Catholic University of Milan.
I study social networks and how they shape and are shaped by our social environment. Topics I commonly investigate are gender, science, criminal networks, personal relationships, mixed methods. Previously I also studied consumption, and I am developing an interest in health networks.
I believe that by looking at social networks, at whom we interact with and how these relationship influence us, we can better understand how societies work and cultures emerge. I adopt the stance of relational sociology and I am interested in how it merges with other mainstream sociological theories. I strongly advocate the use of a variety of qualitative and quantitative tools that can be mixed to adjust the lenses through which we observe and explain the social world.
I am interested in supervising Phd students and establish research collaborations on applications of social network analysis in substantive sociological fields. I supervise students in theoretical and methodological aspects of social networks, and in various areas of social network research including personal relationships, community studies, sociology of science, sociology of consumption, sociology of health, intra and interorganizational networks. I am particularly interested in mixed methods, and how to merge social network analysis with either quantitative or qualitative methods.
