Biography

I am researcher at the University of Edinburgh and the European University Institute, working on social and gender inequality in the family and the labour market.

I have recently defended my PhD thesis  in Social and Political Science at the EUI  in Florence, and I’ve just moved to the lovely city of Edinburgh.

Currently, I am involved in two research projects:

I am investigating the effects of the Covid-19 induced crisis between and within gender in the UK. The  project is funded by the EUI (see more details here ). 

I am also investigating social inequality in the creative and cultural industries in the Uk, working with a team  of researchers at the Edinburgh College of Art. 

I work predominantly with quantitative methods, and I am an affiliated member of the Research Training Centre at the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh.

In my Phd dissertation, I researched age differences between heterosexual partners from the perspective of gender relationships. Previously, I conducted research on family policy, sexist language and the link between gender ideology and family desire. I have tons of ideas for the future!

Before enrolling in the PhD program at the EUI, I studied  Social Demography at Stockholm University and Sociology at the University of Bologna.
