Antonella Passani
I hold a first class degree (Laurea 110/110 cum laude) in Sociology, with a Minor in Cultural Anthropology, and a PhD degree in Social Science from the Department of Sociology and Communications, both from the University of Rome La Sapienza. I developed two parallel career tracks: one more oriented towards academia, with a focus on social anthropology dealing especially with discrimination and social exclusion, and the other more oriented towards private-sector research and innovation, with a focus on the socio-economic dimensions of innovation. In the first track, I have been a Teaching Assistant for Cultural Anthropology and Intercultural Communications courses in the department of sociology and communication at La Sapienza (2002-2009), I was engaged in the EU project CHICAM – Children in Communication about Migration, and I was project manager and research coordinator in the EU project NISO – “Fighting homophobia through active citizenship and media education”. I di field rresearch in thailandia analysing the impact of globalisation on thai culture and I participated in several national projects on youth culture, second generation migrant children and teenager, social exclusion, and intercultural communications. In the second track I worked on EU projects in the area of innovation for the last 10 years, contributing to or leading all stages of the research process (from research design definition to the elaboration of policy recommendations and the dissemination of results). In this track I support and analysis the relationship between technology and social dynamics in innovation processes. Both tracks are represented in my work in T6, where I'm currently a partner and the Coordinator of the Society, Innovation and Social Capital Unit. I'm expert in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies and I'm interested and experienced in facilitation techniques. She is actually research officer at LSE (London school of economics and social sceince) were I'm engaged in the OpenLaw project. Before T6, I spent 5 years at the Censis Foundation, one of the leading socio-economic research institutes in Italy. In recent years I worked extensively on the definition of evaluation and impact assessment methodologies and in their testing in different domains and i act as indipendent exert for several national and international research institutes.
