On Saturday morning, I had the pleasure and honor of speaking at the #FestivaldellaSociologia (Narni, TR).
We discussed how social theory is being reshaped by algorithms and AI with Edmondo Grassi and Simone D'Alessandro, chaired by Luca Corchia.
Many thanks to the audience and the organizers!🍀

A few years ago, the boy who was taking his first steps as a university student could not really understand but only imagine this moment.
Today I officially began a new position as Tenure Track Researcher at the Faculty of Communication of the IULM University in Milan.
Grateful, excited, happy.

Yesterday I started a two-week visiting period at the Centre For Medical Science and Technology Studies #MeST of the #UniversityofCopenhagen.
I'm incredibly honoured to be here and I look forward to giving my talk next Thursday.
And a big thank to #ESHMS for the travel grant!

The #STSItalia conference was a great chance to reconnect with terrific scholars and people I admire. 🎡
I was glad to present two contributions about: i. the social narratives and forms of trust around AI in healthcare; ii. an ethnographic account of the production of an AI-powered chatbot.

Hello world! I just defeated my laziness to open a new social profile and so here I am, ready to talk about humans and algorithms and the mess within and around them. 🤖
