I have over fifteen years' experience in various communication fields, and a PhD in Mass Media & Communication. Most of my professional career unfolded in Bologna, Italy, where I lived for close to two decades. I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication at Arizona State University.
I study the intersection between organizations, media, and public policy from the perspective of complexity theory. I use a variety of methods in my work, primarily network and narrative analysis. Some specific areas of focus include crisis communication, issue identity and management, knowledge, organizational identity and reputation.
I have taught public relations, organizational communication and leadership, and general communication theory, as well as a wide variety of professional seminars and workshops. At ASU I teach courses in public relations. Areas of focus include issues and crisis management, and especially helping students learn about professional applications of social media.
No man (or woman) is an island, and as a network researcher I'm especially aware of the importance of connections. I keep track of links and resources in a variety of ways, but from here you can see both my main reference points, and follow links to the various aggregating services where I save and comment on items I find around the Web.
