Luigi Di Martino
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Young and Resilient Research Centre, at the Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University. In my work, I explore the opportunities and challenges of digital communication technologies in Public Communication. I investigate the use of social media in public and political communication and our everyday life, with a particular focus on online listening and monitoring activities through social media analysis.
I have taught courses on research methods, digital media, social media analysis, data visualisation and public communication at Western Sydney University and the University of Technology Sydney.
I hold a PhD in Public Diplomacy and Social Media (Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University).
As part of my community engagement, I am President of Com.It.Es. New South Wales (Committee For Italians Abroad).
