Since the academic year 2023/2024, I have been teaching the course Applied Social Psychology as adjunct professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca, within the Bachelor's degree program in Psychological Sciences.

The course explores how social psychological theories and methods can be applied to real-world issues beyond the laboratory. Students are introduced to a variety of empirical approaches and ethical considerations involved in applied research across different domains, such as conspiracy beliefs, sustainable eating, and dehumanization.

Through case studies and interactive discussions, the course encourages students to critically reflect on how psychological research can contribute to understanding and addressing contemporary societal challenges in the fields of health, the environment, and politics. 

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action by the United Nations to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030. These interconnected goals provide a shared framework for addressing the world's most urgent social, economic, and environmental challenges.

This course contributes to several key SDGs by exploring how social psychology can help promote good health and well-being, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, climate action, and peace, justice and strong institutions.
