Thesis proposals

I am available to propose and supervise dissertations that relate to the topics also indicated in the ‘research area’ section: classical sociology (e.g. authors such as Weber, Durkheim, Tönnies, Simmel); the birth of the social sciences (economics, statistics, sociology, political science); the thought of Karl Marx; the transformation of the social sciences during the First World War.
I am also open to dialogue with students who do not yet have a clear idea of how to construct their thesis, but who are interested in doing research work on the indicated topics.
