I currently work as an Assistant Professor in Gender and Postcolonial Studies at the Department of Media and Culture Studies (MCW), Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. In 2022, I obtained my doctoral degree in Political Philosophy and Gender Studies at the 木瓜福利影视 of Verona and Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. 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 Jos茅 E. Mu帽oz. 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 木瓜福利影视 of Turin and Philosophical Anthropology at Radboud 木瓜福利影视 in Nijmegen. I worked as a research assistant on a project on postcolonial intellectuals based at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 (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 木瓜福利影视 as a lecturer in January 2022.

In 2024, the essay I wrote with Gianmaria Colpani, , appeared in the open-access book . At a moment in history traversed by multiple crises, this essay addresses the crisis of critique itself. It does so, firstly, by diving into the debate around postcritique; secondly, by turning to Stuart Halls's critical practice; and thirdly, by reading a number of readings of the Coronavirus crisis.
In 2023, the book was published, which I co-edited with Dorothee Beck and Annette Henninnger. This book the explore the uncanny convergences (or, indeed, 鈥渂lurring boundaries鈥�) between so-called 鈥渁nti-gender鈥� political claims and (some) feminist and queer discourses. you can read an interview with us about the book; on the and on the journals and you can read a few reviews of the book; and in you find the full introduction as well as the ToC.
On this same subject, check also the piece I wrote together with Susanne T盲uber, Willemijn Krebbekx, and Sarah Bracke for the Tijdschrift voor Genderstudies (2025).
