Trust and team identification at multicultural workplaces : perceptions of Finnish HR professionals
2017
Growing global mobility has rapidly diversified workplace demographics across the world. Finland that has traditionally been considered a relatively uniform nation in terms of cultural and ethnic diversity has also experienced a shift in its population in recent decades. Despite the growing multiculturalism, established diversity management practices are yet to be developed in many Finnish organizations, and the subject has not gained much academic attention either. Still, competent intercultural leaders are often vital for both successful business results and for the well-being of their multicultural teams. The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the current state of international human…
Identity development meets emotional stability : transcending borders through music therapy with an intercultural group of women : a case study
2016
Based on previous investigation, research has revealed the implications of music therapy in women, intercultural groups, and the cultivation of identity and emotional stability.

Six women from The Netherlands, Iran, China, Russia, Germany, a…

El monumento como instrumento de identidad nacional. El caso italiano
2018
Between 1860 and 1950 Italian architecture had the task of building the modern image of a young nation. Politics asked to architects to convey, through their work, identity messages to the collectivity. This process was particularly present during the period of fascism (1922- 1943), at the disposal of the government of Benito Mussolini. Through strong messages deeply rooted to the ancient Roman tradition, fascism sought to restore a national identity that would guarantee the duration of the regime. The fundamental elements on which constituted this identity were the memorial monuments, places where the mass of the people feels the need to recognize each other to express the cult of the home…

Colonie, Imperi e Migrazioni. Un inquadramento postcoloniale dell'Europa multiculturale
2012
The article considers the multicultural roots of the European Union from a postcolonial perspective. Therefore, European history is outlined from colonialism to imperialism, concluding with recent regulations on international migration. The etymology of the terms colony and culture, both derived from the Latin verb colĕre (to cultivate), is the link that connects these themes, highlighting a conception of the relationship between Europeans and the otherness based on exploitation and domination. Through this view, differential colonialism merges with social self representation (antropopoiesi) inherent in the concepts of culture and education and already disclosed by the Greek paideia.
IL RUOLO DELLE AREE AGRICOLE NELLA PROGETTAZIONE TERRITORIALE. Gli aspetti sociali come forma di rivitalizzazione del territorio.
2014
La tesi indaga il tema della multifunzionalità applicata all’agricoltura come strumento per riattivare territori abbandonati, degradati, a rischio di uso improprio o di nuova edificazione. L’agricoltura ha sempre avuto un rapporto fondamentale con l’Uomo e con gli insediamenti. Il rapporto tra centri abitati e aree agricole è stato un rapporto di unione e di contrapposizione. Nel passaggio da agricoltura di sussistenza a quella di tipo intensivo e specializzato sono stati coinvolti gli spazi, le tecniche, gli strumenti, le opere legate all’attività agricola e, infine, il rapporto con il territorio. L’agricoltura, benché produca beni di prima necessità, nei decenni scorsi è stata considerata…
