I am a Lecturer in Media and Communication at the University of Westminster, where I serve as Course Leader of MA Digital Media: Storytelling and Production and Deputy Course Leader of MA Social Media and Digital Communication.
My research explores critical and creative uses of digital media within migrant and postcolonial contexts. Drawing on feminist frameworks and decolonial epistemologies, I investigate allyship and solidarity-building within digitally mediated transnational Italian publics.
Beyond academia, I co-created Sulla Razza (On Race), a podcast sponsored by Juventus FC that translates Anglo-American concepts on racial issues into the Italian context. Through this work, I aim to deconstruct stereotypical imaginaries and produce complex, diverse counternarratives that challenge situated perspectives. I am currently co-directing a short documentary.
My research examines how racialised and migrant communities use digital media to build solidarity and resistance.
I regularly present at international conferences (ECREA, IMISCOE, MeCCSA) and engage in public scholarship through podcasting, panel discussions and writing for outlets like Vice Italy.
I'm particularly interested in decolonial digital imaginaries and how marginalised communities create counterpublics online. My work bridges academic research and public engagement, aiming to make scholarship accessible and actionable.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate on projects exploring digital media, race, migration, and transnational activism, and I'm available to supervise doctoral research in these areas.
