As Ph.D. in Political Studies from EHESS Paris, I was a Marie Curie Fellow at the PoliTeSse Research Center at the University of Verona (2013-2015), for which I am currently the scientific officer.

I have specialised in the study of LGBTQI+ movements and politics. On this topics I have published several articles and three books: Le moment politique de l’homosexualité. Mouvements, identités et communautés en France (PUL, Lyon 2014), La fabbrica dell’orgoglio. Una genealogia dei movimenti LGBT (Edizioni ETS 2015) and Politiche dell’orgoglio. Sessualità, soggettività e movimenti sociali (Edizioni ETS, 2015).

More recently, I have conducted research on so-called “anti-gender” movements, the results of which were published in Italian L’ipotesi neocattolica. Politologia dei movimenti anti-gender (Mimesis, 2020); in French L’hypothèse néocatholique. Politiques, mouvements et mobilizations anti-genre en Italie (Éditions de l’ULB, 2023); and in English Anti-Gender Mobilizations, Religion and Politics: An Italian Case Study (Routledge, 2024).

I co-founded the French electronic scientific journal Genre, sexualité et société, of which I was first editor-in-chief then editor from 2010 to 2018. I am also co-founder and co-director of the series àltera / politics and theories of sexuality at Edizioni ETS.

You can also find me on the institutional page of the University of Verona.

Since 2015, I have been a research associate at the Emile Durkheim Center in Bordeaux.

In 2022, I received the Emma Goldman Award for my research, public engagement and future potential.
