Niccolò Bertuzzi is a PhD in Applied Sociology and Methodology of Social Research at the University of Milano-Bicocca. He also studied sociology and anthropology at the Universities of Bologna, Turin, Paris-Sorbonne, Barcelona-Pompeu Fabra and Naciònal of Bogotà, and he worked on research projects for Istat and University of Milan.

His master thesis was about the representation of body and sexuality on the Italian Catholic press. His PhD research was about Italian animal advocacy; simultaneously he followed other social movements, protests and forms of participation, and in particular the one against Expo 2015. Some of his article has been recently published in international peer review journals.

From a methodological point of view, he’s interested in mixed methods and cross-paradigmatic approach, trying to use both qualitative and quantitative techniques; he’s also interested in the relational dimension of social movements and more general social phenomena.

He has always tried to flank his academic interests with a political engagement, both institutional and non-institutional; among other associations, he’s member of ADI and was student representative at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Turin.

Research interests: political sociology, collective mobilization, environmental movements, and human-animal studies
