Biography

I joined the Department of History at the University of Nottingham in September 2019.

I completed my MA in History at the Università degli Studi di Firenze (Florence, Italy) and received my PhD in History from the European University Institute. I was an Irish Research Council postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for War Studies, Trinity College Dublin (Ireland) and a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow at the University of Warwick. I worked as a teaching associate at Trinity College Dublin, Università degli Studi di Firenze, John Cabot University and as a research fellow at the German Historical Institute in Rome. I was a Cendari visiting scholar at the Universität Stuttgart in Germany and a visiting scholar at the Universidad de Buenos Aires in Argentina.

Expertise Summary

I specialise in the social and cultural history of Modern Italy and Europe and I have a particular interest in topics like fascism, gender, sexuality, the First World War and disability. My work has extensively focused on the interrelationship between gender and nation, while recently my attention has shifted to the intersection between gender and disability. I have been increasingly interested in examining the spaces and practices of negotiations between individuals and the state.

Teaching Summary

I convene the second-year module European fascisms, 1900-1945, which examines and compares the rise of fascist movements in Italy, Germany and other European countries. I also convene for finalists… read more

I convene the second-year module European fascisms, 1900-1945, which examines and compares the rise of fascist movements in Italy, Germany and other European countries. I also convene for finalists the Special Subject Transnationalising Italy: A History of Modern Italy in Transnational Perspective, which looks at the history of modern Italy from a transnational framework in order to illuminate different facets of the connections between Italy and the wider world. I also contribute to the module Politics and Protest: The Last Hundred Years of Music History, a Y2 Music and History joint module.

As a seminar tutor, I contribute to the first-year modules Learning History and The Contemporary World since 1945.

At the PG level, I convene the MA module Daily Life under Authoritarian Regimes and contribute to Past Futures: Reimagining the Twentieth Century.
