Area of expertise
My research interests lie at the intersection of politics, art, and architectural theory. Since obtaining my Ph.D., my scholarly publications have focused on three primary areas: Marxism and theories of the city, with a particular emphasis on the post-war Italian context; art and architectural historiographies; and the impact of feminist epistemologies on the histories and theories of art.
My work has been featured in journals such as the Oxford Art Journal, Selva, Philosophy of Photography Journal, Parallax, Historical Materialism, and Radical Philosophy.
I collaborated with Jamila Mascat on curating and translating the inaugural anthology of Carla Lonzi's writings, titled "Feminism in Revolt," published by Seagull Books in 2023. Currently, I am in the final stages of editing a book on architect Giancarlo De Carlo's pedagogical writings for MIT Press, scheduled for release in 2024. Simultaneously, I am working on my first monograph, tentatively titled "Fugitive Lives," which explores the theme of departing the art/architectural world from the perspective of a critic.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I am a regular contributor to Art Monthly. Engaging in criticism compels me to remain receptive to the evolving processes that shape the art world, and stay in proximity to the artists.
