Through the understanding of factors that influence Italian American identity, and the ways in which they affect individuals' daily lives, Dr. Serra analyzes the self-representation of Italian Americans and the self-perception of representations suggested by others of the Italian American community. She will also reflect on the meaning that Italian heritage has in the daily lives of younger generations and how it affects their values, behaviors, attitudes, beliefs, and image of Italy and the Italian.

Dr. Rosemary Serra is a leading research sociologist from the University of Trieste. Dr. Serra is the author of a groundbreaking and very relevant research that investigates the status of Italian American identity within the greater New York area.
