He also studied classical guitar from 1987 to 1994 at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and at the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz .

After graduating, he worked as a research assistant at the Bauhaus University Weimar from 2003 to 2005 . His research focus is on the epistemological and sociological interaction of media and symbolic (thought) processes, which he concretizes in the sense of an action-oriented media pedagogy .

From 2009 to 2011 Barberi was press spokesman for the BSA . Since 2010 he has been editor-in-chief of Medienimpulse magazine and a member of the Vienna Media Education team at the Institute for Educational Science at the University of Vienna. He is a recognized expert on questions of media literacy .

In October 2018 he received the grade “summa cum laude” at the Philosophical Faculty of RWTH Aachen University with the thesis Performance and Media Competence. Dieter Baackes is doing his doctorate on the foundations of media education as discourse pragmatics . In 2019 he received the Borchers plaque from RWTH Aachen University for this cumulative dissertation and the doctoral award from the Media Education section of the German Society for Education (DGfE) , of which he is now a full member of the Media Education and Historical Educational Research sections .

Barberi is a member of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and chairman of the media education section of the Austrian Society for Research and Development in Education (ÖFEB).

Political activity

In addition to his work as a scientist and public relations worker, Barberi also contributed to the writing of the SPÖ's party history and to the renewal of the party program.

In this political context, he also published several issues of Akzente and ZUKUNFT . In addition, he appeared in public several times as an education expert and has been involved in university and educational policy since the 1990s.

In March 2014, in the course of the development process for a new basic program of the SPÖ, a dispute between Barberi and the then SPÖ club chairman Josef Cap took place in the media . While Barberi - to the applause of the audience - called for a "back to the roots" to democratic socialism and Austromarxism (and a related departure from the so-called " third way " by Tony Blair and Gerhard Schröder ), Cap commented succinctly with "Because you Marxistelst: What we don't want are closed beliefs.
