My research interests fall into three subfields of communication, i.e.:

  • organizational communication,
  • analysis of social interactions

This view leads me to analyze social interactions. I explore, in particular, the way in which values, principles, norms and ideologies are expressed, applied and developed in our texts and conversations.
