Episode Synopsis

One of the foundations of Mobility studies is its interdisciplinary approach to social phenomena in order to achieve the most comprehensive understanding of it. In today’s episode, Professor Matteo Bortolini, with a PhD in Sociology from the University of Bologna, tells us about his rich research and academic background, his inspiration when designing a class, and the challenges of teaching sociology nowadays. With diverse research and teaching experiences in the United States and Europe, Prof. Bortollini emphasizes the importance of learning to extract and mobilize concepts from other disciplines, as well as the need to encourage students to write and discuss their own ideas. If you are interested in taking his Sociology of Ideas and Intellectuals class, this episode can provide you with an insight into the reasoning behind this class as well as his methodology.  CreditsArtist: AnitekTrack: Glenn2025
