I am a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the Department of Human Sciences of the University of Verona. I earned my PhD in Philosophy through a joint program between the University of Padua and Université Paris 8 Vincennes – Saint-Denis. I have been research fellow at the ICI Institute for Cultural Inquiry Berlin and the Centro Interdisciplinar de Estudos de Género (CIEG) at the University of Lisbon.
My research focuses on the intersection of politics and law, with particular attention to the juridification of politics. I examine, on the one hand, how institutional languages shape social dynamics and, on the other, how social actors contribute to the production of these languages.
Currently, at the University of Verona, I am developing a research project offering a philosophical-political interpretation of Women’s Tribunals, exploring them as examples of collective actions aimed at rewriting or counter-narrating law and rights in relation to gender issues.
Rewriting Rights:
Feminist Legal Narra(c)tors, From Arendt to Women's Courts
The project RE-RIGHTING ("Rewriting Rights: Feminist Legal Narra(c)tors, from Arendt to Women's Courts") is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101150334.
I will be working on this project at the Hannah Arendt Center for Political Theory and the Department of Human Sciences at the University of Verona (Italy).

This podcast series reconstructs the history of Women’s Courts: people-led, non-official tribunals created to confront forms of violence and injustice often unheard or unrecognized within formal legal systems. Bringing together testimony, collective listening, and political imagination, Women’s Courts open alternative political spaces — what I propose to call a politics of narra(c)tion.
The podcast explores their key features and enduring significance as experiments in rethinking justice from below. Each episode reconstructs the history of a specific Women’s Tribunal and pairs it with a key feminist concept, tracing how theory and practice intersect across different contexts.
The series presents the results of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie research project RE-RIGHTING – Rewriting Rights, funded by the Horizon Europe programme.
