Italy

Anthropologist of Death & Religion | Expert in Funeral Practices, Ritual and Religious Minorities

プロフィール概要

I am an anthropologist of religion specializing in death studies, funeral practices, and religious minorities. I hold a PhD in Anthropology of Religion from Durham University (UK), where my research explored shamanic rituals and funerals among the Wana people of Indonesia. My work focuses on the cultural, social, and legal dimensions of death, mourning, and ritual practices. I have conducted ethnographic fieldwork in Southeast Asia and Italy, examining how communities navigate grief, religious identity, and institutional frameworks surrounding death and burial. I have worked as a researcher in several international projects, including The Healing and Emotional Power of Music and Dance (NOVA University Lisbon), Freedom of Religious Expression in Death (Sapienza University of Rome), and Rural Commons of Italy (University of Palermo). These projects combine anthropology, religion, law, and cultural studies to investigate the relationship between communities, ritual practices, and social institutions. Alongside research, I teach and lecture on the anthropology of death, religion, and research methods at several universities, including the University of Padua and the University of Palermo. I also actively organize international conferences and academic events in the field of death studies. Beyond academia, I am committed to public engagement and interdisciplinary dialogue. I am the President of the Italian Network on Death and Oblivion (NIMO) and editor of the series Death in a Chocolate Box. Through these roles I promote research dissemination, cultural dialogue, and collaboration between scholars, professionals, and communities. My expertise includes qualitative research methods, ethnographic fieldwork, academic writing and editing, interdisciplinary research design, and public engagement on topics related to death, religion, and culture.
