who I am

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Milan, Department of Philosophy.

Before joining Milan, I was the Sarah Smithson Research Fellow at Newnham College, University of Cambridge, from 2022 to 2024.

I have been named on the 100 Italian women experts in History and Philosophy - 100esperte. I am the Vice President of SIFA (Italian Society for Analytic Philosophy) and a founding member of SWIP Italia (Society for Women in Philosophy).

what I work on

My research is primarily in social philosophy of language. I am especially interested in how pragmatics and speech act theory can be brought to bear on issues of moral, political, and societal concern.

I also work in feminist philosophy (pornography and silencing), social epistemology (testimony and epistemic injustice), conceptual engineering (justice-oriented projects about gender-related categories), and ethics (normativity and the ethics of consent).
