Overall Research Project Description The project is centered on the book I am completing, titled "Fashioning Italian Women, Fashioning a Nation 1780s-1860s," a monograph on Italian sociability and the writings of women who animated literary salons and "salotti di cultura" from just before the French Revolution to Italian Unification. Spanning a period of 100 years,, from just before the French Revolution (1789) to the Italian Unification (1861), my book looks at the multiple ways Italian women participated in and shaped their current cultural discourse, by facilitating the creation of social, cultural and political networks through their salon gatherings. Because of its roots in sociability, and the variety of 'characters' it focuses on, this project considers multiple aspects of culture from fashion, hospitality, art, tourism and music to the medical and experimental sciences, religion and politics. The book manuscript is grounded on Social Network Theory and considers aspects of celebrity culture, political theory, scientific dissemination, journalism and translation studies.
Research Tasks Research tasks will include: literature review, bibliographical work, online research and retrieval of texts, reading and editing book chapters, helping with dissemination of findings through social media.
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Required: ability to carry out research independently, intellectual curiosity, very good English writing skills, an eye for detail and a drive towards critical inquiry.
Knowledge of Italian or French is not necessary at all but could come in handy!
Mentoring Philosophy As a mentor, I strive to share my knowledge with students to help them find what drives and motivates them, and to aid them in developing their skills and abilities. I relish to help students blossom in their independent intellectual endeavors, acquire confidence and see and seize opportunities for personal and professional growth along the way.
I value, above all, mutual respect and trust, which I believe go hand in hand with accountability. My objective is to enrich students' personal, intellectual and professional experience so that they are better prepared for the job market. I value the mentoring process as a collaborative endeavor where the exchange of ideas and talents is mutual, and where everyone involved profits from the intellectual, professional and social interactions at play. I deeply enjoy the knowledge I gain from these mentorship opportunities.
