Biography

I have carried out my studies in Psychology at the University of Cagliari (Italy). My research project aims to critically explore the enactment of gender identities in the European Space Agency, focusing on the agentic involvement of the more-than-human in ESA’s facilities. The space industry will be conceived as an assemblage where posthuman

subjectivities dynamically intersect in a co-implication of (post)human, organic and inorganic subjectivities with blurred boundaries.

I am deeply influenced by philosophical posthumanism, feminist new materialism, and feminist theories, and fascinated by the affirmative, ethical, and generative possibilities offered by these theories.

I am proudly involved in the research cluster Gender Organisational Practice at the OU.
