Current Research
My second book-length project ("A Pastoral Cookbook") explores pastoral beauty as a traditional recipe that has evolved into contemporary Italian ecopoetics.
I co-edited a volume, Italian Trans Geographies (forthcoming Oct. 2023) that retraces stories of trans people within the Italian peninsula and along diasporic routes. I have also been conducting research on constructs of gender, nature, and sense of place in Italian culture, through the lens of queer ecology, trans studies, and feminist environmentalism.
