Sociologia

My name is Fatima Zahra Abid. I was born and raised in Verona, Italy. I'm Italian and Moroccan and since I was born, every year, I visit my family in Morocco. I've attented Social sciences in High School and I become very passionate about Sociology, Anthropology and Social Psychology. I decided to accomplish a Bachelor and a Master's Degree in Sociology and Research Methods in order to achieve theoretical and practical tools to question and understand social phenomena. My great interest is to observe and analyze social products from several social contexts. Considering the opportunities, due to technological breakthrough and innovation, in the social research field, I become interested and enthusiast in deepen the field of Data Science in order to further investigate and understand actual phenomena.

Curious and goal-oriented Sociologist and Project manager Professional, I have more than 15 years of experience in design, management and evaluation of projects financed by local, national or EU funds, devising creative strategic solutions to problems. I also dedicated more than five years to monitoring and evaluation projects where I improved my skills in Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis. The chance to participate in the Big Data Analytics and Social Mining Master is a needed step to extend my competences in Data Analysis.

In March 2017, I graduated from "La Sapienza" University of Rome with a master's degree in sociology discussing a thesis on the topic of representation of work among young people in Rome. In the same year, through an internship at the CNR, I partecipated in a research about the construction of the image of migrants in online newspapers and textbooks. The interest in the understanding of social dynamics led me to decide to expand my knowledge with the master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining. I believe that the application of techniques and models deriving from data science can highlight further and new aspects in the study of social phenomena to grasp their contradictions and their problems.

After a Bachelor degree in "International and European studies" at the Univeristy of Milan where I have gained insight on the work of the European and International institutions, I decided to specialise myself in the migration field with the Master “Sociology of Migrations and interethnical relations” at the Paris Diderot University. Following some professional experiences in public and private institutions, I finally sign up for this Master in Big Data Analytics with the aim of gaining new skills and knowledge useful to analyze and study our complex society from a quantitative point of view.

I studied Social Science at the University of Pisa and I have graduated in Sociology at the University of Milano-Bicocca. My thesis focuses on job search with public employment services. During my studies, it is increased my interest in statistics and data analysis. I decided to attend the Master in Big Data Analytics and Social Mining so as to learn new methods and thecniques which are very important for the study of contemporary society.
