Do you study atypical careers? I am your perfect case study. My passion was history, indeed my first research was on feudalism in Piedmont in the Modern Era. However after spending a year locked in a library studying sixteenth century legal texts, I realized that the historian job was not so charming. I understood that I love to recognize social trends of contemporary society, and so I shifted to sociology and social sciences. So in the last decade I’ve participated at many research groups and I obtained a PhD in Sociology. However today we live in complex work framework and next to the research I had to experience different works: I’ve been involved in the organization of important international design and architecture festivals; I’ve coordinated the press office af a national publisher: I’ve been a social media manager, I’ve managed both at national and international levels complex projects dealing with environmental sustainability issues and developed a strong and useful experience as European public policies evaluator. You may imagine  how my previous research experiences are relevant for this project, but it is not. Most of the studies that I've done are on sociology of religion, religious pluralism, youth culture and socialization. At this point you have a one natural wonder: is Simone useful for this project? I hope to bring in EXCEPT my decade working experience in and out research with a particular attention to understand policies and to spread the results of this study to young people, stakeholders, policy makers and those who can deal with the problems that Except will cope with.
