Research areas and interests

  • The sociology of ageing and older people and community development: Simone’s capability is both interdisciplinary and intercultural, combining interests in cultural anthropology, sociology of migration, the Italian transnational diaspora, and ethnomusicology.
  • Musicianship: In addition to his academic expertise, Simone is an experienced musician, with over 25 years of experience as a musical performer, songwriter and composer.
  • Migrants’ ethnic identities: Simone’s research centres on Italian migrants’ construction and transmission of ethnic identities, their narratives, and identities; their maintenance and loss of languages and ‘cultures’ in multicultural societies, but also family alliances, spiritual kinships and socioeconomic relations. Recently he published for the Journal of Sociology an investigation on the disjuncture of cultural practices between the Italians in Australia and those living in Italy, pondering on matters of ‘authenticity’.
  • Ageing and Dementia Studies: Simone’s expertise includes also ethnomusicology. He aims to advance social science knowledge in Ageing Studies by extending conceptual knowledge on dementia, music, and cultural and social identity, as there is very little anthropological research in the area of CaLD older people living with dementia in Australia.

Qualifications
