Tommaso Trillò is a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Communication and Journalism, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His main academic interests revolve around social movements, social media, and social semiotics (usually, but not always, in this order). While his work is influenced by his training in feminist political sciences, Tommaso’s research interests found a better disciplinary home at the Department of Communication. Born and raised in Italy, Tommaso strongly identifies with his Southern European heritage. He hopes to turn his passion for Mediterranean politics and societies into a stable part of his research focus. Tommaso holds a PhD in Political Sciences from the University of Łodz, Poland (2019), where he conducted his research in the context of the Marie Skłodowska Curie project ‘GRACE - Gender and Cultures of Equality in Europe’ (MSCA grant agreement No 675378). Before his doctorate, Tommaso read for an MSc in Migration Studies at University of Oxford and for a BA in Political Sciences at John Cabot University, Rome, Italy. In his free time, Tommaso enjoys watching professional rugby on tv while remaining a rather clumsy rugby player on the weekend. Though he normally lacks the patience to sit through a full movie, Tommaso has no problem watching netflix series, late night shows, and youtube video-essays for hours on end.
