(Tutor: Prof. Elisabetta Gola, Dr.ssa Chiara Seazzu)

I am a PhD student at the University of Cagliari, working on a thesis on the philosophy of language under the supervision of Prof. Elisabetta Gola. My research is supported by a scholarship financed by Min. Dec. 351/2022, based on the NRRP – funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU. I graduated with a BA in Film Direction and Programming at the University of Rome “Roma3”, with a dissertation of Shakespearian comedy from the written text to its theatrical and film transpositions, supervised by Prof. Paola Bono. I then obtained a MA in Film and Screen Studies from the Goldsmiths College, University of London, with a dissertation on The use of colours in expanded cinema, under the supervision of Dr. Rachel Moore. My current research investigates the best practices in Public Administration communication, with a focus on how the use of metaphors can aid to be more effective and inclusive. A special focus will be devoted to the use of communication for overcoming the disability, gender and cultural divides, particularly through immersive contexts such as virtual reality and the metaverse. The thesis will be also based on the analysis of some case-studies on digital communication in public administration. The research finally aims at drafting and implementing guiding principles for inclusive communication.
