Profile
Biography
After graduating in philosophy (2010), I completed a master in Business Administration at the Sant’ Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa (2012), where few years later I also discussed a PhD dissertation on Contemporary ethical issues in accounting and accountability (2016). My dissertation explored the implications of a neoliberal ethics on social phenomena as diverse as migration and corruption. The significance of critical theory for my research further grew after joining the University of Essex where I have been working as Lecturer and Senior Lecturer from April 2017 to January 2022. During these years, I have further refined my research interest in organizational ethics by exploring the way in which values and norms shape identity and identification processes within organizations, and their effects. Thus, my research largely focuses on work identity, organizational ethics, gender theories, management control and precarious work. I am currently developing this research agenda at Essex Business School as visiting fellow and at the University of Verona that I joined in January 2022 and where I teach work and organization studies. My ongoing research projects explore the working lives of transgender persons in Pakistan and in Italy, and initiatives of gender mainstreaming in Japan.
