I currently work as an Assistant Professor in Gender and Postcolonial Studies at the Department of Media and Culture Studies (MCW), Utrecht University. In 2022, I obtained my doctoral degree in Political Philosophy and Gender Studies at the University of Verona and Utrecht University. My research, which I conducted between 2018 and 2022, focuses on queer critique and the discontents with it, navigating the work of such authors as Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Eve K. Sedgwick, Rita Felski, Robyn Wiegman, and José E. Muñoz. Next to the the field of queer theory, my research and teaching interests include 'anti-gender' movements, critique and postcritique, postcolonial studies, feminist theories, and sexual and LGBTIQ+ politics.

Previously, I studied Philosophy at the University of Turin and Philosophical Anthropology at Radboud University in Nijmegen. I worked as a research assistant on a project on postcolonial intellectuals based at Utrecht University (2015-2017) and as a professional for both ATGENDER - the European Association of Gender Research, Education, and Documentation (2015-2018) and IALHI - the International Association of Labour History Institutions (2016-2018). I joined Utrecht University as a lecturer in January 2022.

In 2023, the book Blurring Boundaries -'Anti-Gender' Ideology Meets Feminist and LGBTIQ+ Discourses was published, which I co-edited with Dorothee Beck and Annette Henninnger. Here you can read an interview with us about the book, and in GoogleBooks you can read the full introduction and check the ToC.

With Donya Alinejad and Jaron Harambam, I co-edited a special issue of the Journal of Digital Social Research titled 'Trust, Media, and Science in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic', which was published in Fall 2023. The journal is fully open access: you can read our special issue here.
