Overcoming Glass Ceilings, Glass Doors and Bottlenecks: Female Recruiting and Progression in Italian Political Science
No full textTranslation as a process of mediation: framing accessibility, inclusion, participation and belonging across cultures.
No full textOver the past two decades, the concepts of disability, accessibility and inclusion have
undergone a profound transformation: from a clinical and deficit-oriented model to a
relational and universal approach. This change, supported by international references such
as the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) and the
WHO’s International Classification of Functioning (ICF), redefines disability as the
result of interaction between individuals and their environments. In this context,
translation plays a crucial role as a means of making knowledge, practices and experiences
accessible across languages and disciplines. This article examines how these developments
are reflected in the English translation of Manuale di progettazione per l’accessibilità e la
fruizione ampliata del patrimonio culturale. Dai funzionamenti della persona ai
funzionamenti dei luoghi della cultura (hereafter Manuale), coordinated by Gabriella
Cetorelli and Luca Papi for the Italian National Research Council and supported by the
Ministry of Culture. The handbook represents an interdisciplinary contribution to
cultural accessibility, redefining access to heritage as a dynamic relationship between
people’s functioning and the functioning of cultural spaces. The study approaches
translation as a process of mediation, where linguistic, conceptual and cultural choices
contribute to shaping how accessibility, inclusion, participation, and belonging are
understood and communicated in cultural contexts. By analyzing the translation process
of the Manuale, the paper highlights how translation supports the circulation of ideas on
accessibility and inclusion at an international level, fostering shared understanding and
dialogue between disciplines and cultures. Ultimately, it argues that translating accessibility is an active contribution to building an inclusive cultural perspective grounded in diversity, participation and belonging

Aging and Finance. A Literature Review on Risk Profiles, Decision-Making, and Investment Returns
No full textAs population aging accelerates worldwide, societies face profound economic, social, and financial challenges. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the literature on the financial vulnerability of older adults, with a particular focus on Italy, where regional disparities exacerbate the issue. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources, the study examines the determinants of elderly financial behaviour, including risk tolerance, cognitive decline, financial literacy, and exposure to fraud. The paper also analyses the financial products and services currently available to older consumers and evaluates the extent to which they meet their specific needs. In its final section, the paper explores the intersection between aging, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Environmental,
Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, arguing that inclusive financial services for the elderly can enhance both ethical responsibility and strategic positioning for financial institutions. The findings highlight the urgency of policy reforms and the need for tailored financial instruments that promote financial security and social inclusion in aging societies
