I'm currently on a one-person study tour through the US to research the ongoing presidential elections. I will post larger, in depth-pieces to American Studies Leipzig's election blog and will use my personal blog below to report on the everyday encounters. More information on my journey is also available in this news item. Please enjoy reading, and please comment or ask questions.

Bio
I received my BA in Communication Studies from the University of Bergamo (Italy) and my MA from American Studies Leipzig. I wrote my dissertation on contemporary popular representations of the fifties, particularly investigating how self-reflexivity, melodrama, and nostalgia affect these portrayals. I defended my dissertation in October 2019.
