In 2022, I graduated from Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele with an MA degree in Philosophy. My thesis critically examined the key features, advantages, and disadvantages of Kate Manne's ameliorative definition of misogyny. During my bachelor’s degree, obtained at Università degli Studi di Milano, I also studied cultural anthropology, delving into the relationship between nature, culture, and intercultural communication.

Currently, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Barcelona, working on a research project supervised by Professor Esa Díaz León and Professor Teresa Marques. My project focuses on designing a new ameliorated definition of the term 'misogyny', and it is supported by the Barcelona Institute of Analytical Philosophy (Ref: CEX2021-001169-M). I was assigned to the research package [WP4] Evidence in Philosophy of Mind, led by Professor Josefa Toribio. I am also a member of the New Paths in the Philosophy of Hybrid Representations project (code: PID2023-150569NB-I00), led by Professor Teresa Marques and Professor Manuel García-Carpintero.

My primary areas of interest are Philosophy of Mind and Language, Feminist Analytic Philosophy, Conceptual Engineering, and Social Ontology. Specifically, I am interested in exploring how misogynistic social meanings and practices impact people’s minds and social interactions in everyday reality.
