I am Marie Sklodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the University of Verona (Italy) and visiting researcher at DePaul University (USA).

I obtained my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Padua (Italy) after spending two semesters at Brown University (USA) as a visiting researcher in the Political Science department. I have worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Istituto italiano per gli studi filosofici (Naples, Italy), at the Center for Advanced Studies for South-East Europe (Rijeka, Croatia) and at the University of Verona (Italy). I am a research fellow at the “Hannah Arendt” Center for Political Studies and a member of several philosophical societies, including SWIP (Society for Women in Philosophy) Italia.

My research intersects political philosophy, feminist theories, and classics (with a particular interest in ancient Greek tragedy).

My forthcoming book is titled Il teatro della polis: filosofia dell’agonismo tragico (ETS).

My MSCA research project, titled “Choreographies of Vulnerability: Towards a New Public Ethics of Care” (ChoreoCare), aims at elaborating a new political argument for a public ethics of care, by investigating how care is narrated and instituted and by studying embodied vulnerability and practices of care performed by social movements and collectivities.

My three-year Marie Skłodowska-Curie Project “Choreographies of Vulnerability: Towards a New Public Ethics of Care” (ChoreoCare), funded by the European Commission under thegrant agreement no. 101029336, aims at investigating the possibility of a politics of care based, on the one hand, on the demand for institutionally recognized social infrastructures of care, and, on the other hand, on collective practices – that I call choreographies of vulnerability – able to transform the socio-political context. For a politics of care to be truly inaugural, it must foster narrations and performances that operate at the intersection with the social infrastructures of care, thus transforming the socio-political context in which it acts.
