ABOUT ME

I am a cultural anthropologist working as post-doc researcher at the University of Calabria. My field of studies is childhood and school system in subsaharan Africa.
I love sport (tennis, running, swimming, hiking), reading (not only boring stuff), hanging out and to visit new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I am firmly convinced that as social subjects we construct ourselves through the encounter with others. So I am definitely more interested in otherness rather than in sameness. CS it is the right place and way for knowing people from other countries and cultures.
