Chiara Faggiolani

Chiara Faggiolani is an Associate Professor at the Department of Modern Literature and Culture, Sapienza University of Rome. She specializes in Library Science and Social Librarianship, focusing on the cultural impact of libraries, data-driven evaluation systems, and digital reading practices. Her work bridges humanities with quantitative analysis, particularly through network science and text mining applications.

Her research explores libraries as multifunctional cultural platforms, emphasizing their role in sustainable development (aligned with the UN Agenda 2030), community well-being, and health humanities. She has pioneered studies on social reading and narrative-based librarianship, advocating for libraries as oases of deceleration in fast-paced digital societies.

While no specific scientific awards or student advisees are mentioned in available texts, her teaching portfolio includes courses like Book Publishing and Reading and Library Economy, delivered through hybrid formats (physical + Zoom platforms). She actively contributes to AIB STUDI and BIBLIOTECHE OGGI, shaping discourse on library science and cultural policy.
