I am a PhD candidate at the Department of Strategic Communication, Lund University, Sweden. I hold a BA in Communication from the University of Padova, a MA in Semiotics from the University of Bologna and a MA in Women’s and Gender Studies from Utrecht University. My PhD thesis explores the possibility of an affective approach to strategic climate communication in the touristic setting of Venice, wherein it explores how the strategic communication of sea level rise implies the sustainment of affective atmospheres, thus of seemingly ordinary ways in which Venice ought to look and feel like in the midst of climate change.
