I am a Lecturer in the Department of Social and Political Science and a Fellow of the Arts, Societies, Knowledge Economies (ASK) research unit, which specialises in interdisciplinary research on the cultural, artistic and creative sectors.

My research brings contemporary art into dialogue with cultural theory and feminist thought to examine the relationships between cultural production, artistic practice and politics. It addresses contemporary art systems and the intellectual and cultural history of Italian feminism, with particular attention to feminist organising in the 1970s. Alongside philosopher Linda Bertelli, I have worked extensively on the intellectual and existential trajectory of Carla Lonzi (1931–1982), exploring the intersections of feminist thought, visual culture and cultural theory.

I hold a PhD in Cultural Systems from the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca and have been a Visiting Researcher at the Gothenburg Research Institute, University of Gothenburg. I teach courses in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Economics and Management for Arts and Culture and coordinate Critical Approaches to the Arts II at the undergraduate level. Previously, I taught Contemporary Art Market and System on the Visual Culture Master’s programme at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. My educational experience also includes seminars for doctoral students and professional audiences.

I have served as a consultant to the PRIN PNRR project Fotografiste: Women in Photography from Italian Archives, 1839–1939 and contributed to the Observatory on Contemporary Art project at the ASK Center. My applied research experience also includes projects on culture-led processes of social transformation and territorial development. Alongside my scholarly publications, I have written for Flash Art, AGCult, ARTnews and Via Dogana and have participated in arts-based educational initiatives and artist residency projects.
