Personal profile

Research interests

Currently doing a PhD on women's understandings and experiences of reproductive coercion and related prevention and intervention strategies in England and in Italy, and how they might intersect with different sociocultural factors.

 

I am researcher (funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, UK) interested in how socially constructed gendered roles and norms influence gender power dynamics, hence gender-based violence.
It matters because gender-based violence is not only against human rights, and not only an obstacle towards achieving social sustainability (SDG 5.6), but also unfair and it has detrimental consequences on women and on the whole society.
I have acquired research skills throughout my undergraduate studies in Childhood and my master's studies in Policy Research. Amongst other things, the latter allowed me to acquire knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods. My studies have also allowed me to gain a critical understanding of the intersection between different factors that might influence dynamics, understandings, and experiences of gendered-based violence.
I would like to make a difference to women and the entire society. None should decide who he/she wants to be or what she/he wants to do based on their biological sex or their (socially constructed) gender. None should be discriminated against because of their sex or gender.
As a woman who has grown up in a rather conservative environment, as a mother of two little girls, and as a feminist, I really want to make a contribution towards improving gender-related policy and practice. I would like to do this through research (such as my current PhD) and actions, such as campaigns. SDG 5.6 can be achieved if we join our forces. I want to be part of those forces.
