I moved from Italy to Dresden a year ago to start my PhD studies in Political Science at TU Dresden. Additionally, I work as a researcher at the Hannah Arendt Institute for Totalitarianism Studies. Here, I've found an ideal academic environment for my research. The institute provides comprehensive support, granting me access to a wide range of bibliographic materials as well as various workshops and conference activities. From a social and interpersonal perspective, Dresden is certainly a city that plays an important role.
