'Old Mafia' and 'New Mafia' in the Novels of Saverio Strati, 1957–1977 (2020)
Journal Article

Despite being recognised as Italy’s most powerful mafia, Calabria’s ’ndrangheta has long been dwarfed by its Sicilian and Neapolitan cousins in terms of cultural representations. Such representations, however, though frequently overlooked and ignored... Read More about 'Old Mafia' and 'New Mafia' in the Novels of Saverio Strati, 1957–1977.

The STEM pipeline: Do media and objectified body consciousness create an early exit for middle school girls? (2020)
Journal Article

Girls and women are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Research has investigated various explanatory factors (e.g., lack of role models, sexism) in these patterns. However, to date, the roles of media...

Kaleidoscope - Volume 218 , Issue 1 (2020)
Journal Article

Predicting future suicide attempts is a challenging area for psychiatrists. Even well-established individual risk factors tend to be quite weak predictors, and most assessment tools have been shown to add little or no value to a comprehensive clinica...
