Diachronic analysis of social structure in Italian metropolitan areas: A Comparative–historical Research and Open-Access Database for Urban Studies (Diametroit)
Urban research has demonstrated the impact of residential location on life chances and opportunities. This perspective highlights how population structure and territorially embedded opportunities and constraints shape life courses, employment, crime and civic participation. Imbalances in social structure may lead to residential segregation, often with adverse consequences for disadvantaged groups. However, prevailing frameworks—largely developed …
Challenges in Teaching Sociology A Study of Introductory Courses and Pedagogical Freedom in Italian Universities
A critical review of how sociology is taught is urgently required: first, to ensure high-quality education for students and second, given new modes of accessing information, including generative artificial intelligence (AI), to provide students with effective tools and skills to allow them to recognise the value of university-level courses and materials. Considering this, national and international sociological associations should encourage empir…
Beyond the Rhetoric of Revanchism Towards the Metropolitan Core: An Analysis of Symbolic Representations of Milan From Its Peripheries
Socio-political research has shown that in metropolitan peripheries, populist parties have gained significant support. This is because these parties capitalise on a widespread feeling of exclusion, leading to a revanchist social representation of affluent metropolitan centres. This article contributes to the debate on metropolitan dynamics by exploring the social representations of the centre-periphery relationship, showing how symbolic represent…
Electoral support for the 5 Star Movement in Milan: An ecological analysis of social and spatial factors
After the 2018 general election, several scholars remarked on the failure of the 5 Star Movement (5SM) to increase its vote in Milan. While the role of demographic and socioeconomic factors has been highlighted, little attention has been devoted to spatial dynamics. The authors analyze the greater city of Milan using a new set of spatial units that capture the characteristics of the local populations which voted at specific polling stations. They…
Take politics off the table: A study of Italian youth's self-managed dairy restriction and healthy consumerism
The last 20 years have been characterized by very different dynamics: massive reduction of milk and, to a lesser extent, dairy consumption; fewer positive attitudes towards milk; no reclaims for affordable, public dairy production; the development of a large conversation about the presumed risks associated with the intake of lactose; and semantic battles on non-dairy 'milk' alternatives. These new attitudes haven't been systematically studied. We…
Supporting family caregiver engagement in the care of old persons living in hard to reach communities: A scoping review
Today, 8.5% of the world's population is 65 and over, and this statistic will reach 17% by 2050 (He et al., U.S. Census Bureau, international population reports, P95/16-1, An ageing world: 2015, U.S., 2016). They are the people who, with increasing age, will find themselves more closely interfacing with the national health system, which in many countries shows strong imbalances between rural and urban areas. In this context, a fundamental role is…
Creating Urban Sociality in Middle–Class Neighborhoods in Milan and Bologna: A Study on the Social Streets Phenomenon
Social Streets are groups of neighbors who want to recreate convivial ties having noticed a weakening of social relationships in their roads of residence. Social Streets start as online Facebook groups to materialize in offline encounters, using conviviality to create virtuous bonds. These are carried out through practices of sociality, inclusive and for free. The main focus of this article is analyzing sociodemographic data of the “Streeters” an…
