Dr. Alessandro Zagato

​Post Doctoral Researcher
My experience at Maynooth University Sociology was a very good one from various points of view. From the time I applied for the PhD scholarship to the preparation of my Viva in the Spring of 2012 I was never let down by the department. My PhD was on 'Commuity Development in Dublin: political subjectivity and state cooption'. As a foreign student I always received adequate support, and my relations with colleagues and staff were always positive and productive. The inspiring and professional supervision by Professor Mary Corcoran allowed me to conclude my PhD in less than four years. After the Viva the department offered me an adjunct lecturership teaching a Social Movements module, which helped me to develop academically and professionally. I am currently involved in a postdoctoral research project in Puebla-Mexico.
