Office hours

The reception for students and undergraduates takes place on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m., after booking by e-mail.
Students are invited to consult the Moodle page and the Notices section (Avvisi) for further information or any changes.

Thesis supervision
I supervise bachelor and master theses on a range of subjects. 
The principal areas of interest are public policy, the commons, social innovation, transformations of welfare services (both public and private), the health system, and health services, including the regional level. Other topics of relevant social interest may be considered, but the titles will still have to be agreed upon on an individual basis. For three-year theses, students are also invited to propose topics of their interest, if they are aligned with their course of study and that the perspective and interpretation of sociology is considered.
Having passed an exam in Sociology is preferred for accepting proposals.
It would be beneficial to consult resources such as Google Scholar, Jstor or other online databases accessible via the University (CerCa')  to gain an understanding of the current scientific debate.
