Assistant Professor

I am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Antiquities, History, and Philosophy (DAFIST) at the University of Genoa and the coordinator of the Ethics & Politics curriculum of the FINO PhD program. I am also the PI of the PRIN PNRR 2022 project Distrust in Science Reframed: Understanding and Countering Anti-scientific Behavior, which is starting in the Winter of 2023.

Before joining DAFIST, I held a Beatriu de Pinos Research Fellowship at Logos (University of Barcelona), where I worked on a project entitled “The Post-Truth Condition: Epistemological Treatments”, a postdoctoral fellowship within the EU-funded PERITIA project (University College Dublin), and an Early Career FCT Fellowship at LanCog (University of Lisbon), where I worked on a project titled “The Epistemic Authority of the Oppressed: Eradicating Epistemic Injustice through Education”.

I received a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh (2020), where I held an Early Stage Marie Curie Fellowship within the European Training Network DIAPHORA, and a previous Ph.D. from the University of Genoa (2016). My research mainly focuses on epistemology, virtue theory, and the philosophy of education. My research focuses on (mainly social and moral) epistemology, virtue theory, and the philosophy of education.
