I am a postdoctoral fellow in Sociology at the University of Milano-Bicocca (Department of Sociology and Social Research) and adjunct lecturer in Sociology at the University of Cagliari (Department of Pedagogy, Psychological Sciences and Philosophy). My research focuses on life course and generations, especially the everyday practices of older adults and the social use of digital technologies. I pursue a gendered and life course perspective, that sheds light on biographical trajectories, the role of family, social ties and care responsibilities in shaping digital engagement in later life.
My methodological approach is grounded in qualitative and longitudinal research. I have experience with narrative interviews, online methods of data collection and the observation of everyday digital practices within different settings of use. I am currently interested in how digital public services are accessed, used, and negotiated by older adults, and how these interactions reflect broader social inequalities related to age, gender, and class, taking into account the role of public institutions in reproducing sociotechnical imaginaries that make little space for old age in digitised societies.
