Ricerc@Sapienza

I graduated with a master’s degree in Arabic language at Sapienza University of Rome. Since then, I have always studied and worked in multicultural environments and focused on Arab countries and Arabic culture. Over the past two years, I have been researching on the concept of otherness in the frame story of the Arabian Nights and its reception within academic literature on the collection. I hold a PhD degree in Civilisations of Asia and Africa from Sapienza, University of Rome. I have also worked with refugees and asylum seekers as a cultural mediator and Italian language teacher since 2012, and have dealt with cultural mediation in different contexts, including legal, medical, psychological mediation and job orientation. Over the last three years, I have been undertaking projects of (inter)cultural-artistic activities with migrants to promote cultural and social engagement in the new country or residence.
