About

I am PhD in Human Rights from the University of Palermo, Italy (2008). I am Tenured Researcher at the Institute of Philosophy of the Spanish National Research Council/Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC). I have teaching and research experience in Spanish and foreign institutions, including the University of Palermo, University of California-Berkeley, Center for Human and Social Sciences of CSIC, Center for Political and Constitutional Studies of Madrid, UNED, Complutense University, University Carlos III of Madrid and Nebrija University. My field of research lies in between Gender Studies, Critical Theory, and International Migration Studies. In my publications I adopt an interdisciplinary approach to address issues related to human rights, social change, equality and non-discrimination policies, policy implementation, migration and integration policies, citizenship and belonging, identity formation, diversity among women, autonomy vs cultural practices. I am the author of the monograph “Multicentered Feminism” (Compostampa 2009) and edited the volumes “Identity and Migration in Europe” (Springer 2015), “Igualdad de género y no discriminación en España” (CEPC 2016), “Challenging the Borders of Justice in the Age of Migrations” (Springer 2019). I am also author of numerous publications in indexed journals such as Politics & Gender, Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, Law & Society Review, Policy & Society, Critical Discourse Studies, International Journal of Human Rights, Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis, and chapters of books in English, Spanish and Italian. I have been PI of 7 competitive research projects on gender, migration and human rights, and participated in numerous national and international R&D as a team member. I am currently member of the Berkeley Center on Comparative Equality and Anti-Discrimination Law and Gender Equality Policy in Practice. I regularly serve as a peer reviewer for research agencies and indexed journals.
