Federico Brandmayr
Bio
Federico Brandmayr is a lecturer of Political Science and Sociology, with a secondary appointment as Associate Research Scholar. His work focuses on the politics of expertise—the contested production of expert knowledge and its reception and use by various groups, with an emphasis on knowledge about crime, terrorism, and political extremism. This focus forms the basis of his current book project. Federico also investigates the contemporary distrust of experts, especially within the Italian context, and studies philosophical critiques of the role of science and technology in modern societies. His articles have been published in Sociological Theory, Science, Technology, & Human Values, the European Journal of Sociology, Social Epistemology, the European Journal of Social Theory, and elsewhere. Federico earned a degree in political science from the University of Trieste, Italy, followed by master’s and doctoral degrees in sociology from Sorbonne University in Paris. He held postdoctoral appointments at the University of Cambridge, the MacMillan Center at Yale, and LUISS University in Rome.
