My current research project investigates the use of social media in diplomacy, with a particular focus on online listening and monitoring activities through social media analysis.

I teach research methods and digital media at Western Sydney University, social media analysis and data visualisation at the School of the Arts and Media, University of New South Wales.

Assunta (Lumsa), Rome, Italy.
