I'm a Researcher in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Torino. I received my PhD in English Language and Linguistics from the University of Napoli Federico II. Before going to Torino I worked at the University of Nottingham, Lancaster University and Aston University. My research interest include (Critical) Discourse Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, Ecolinguistics and Queer Linguistics. I particularly enjoy investigating how language and discursive patterns are used to construct one's own and others' identities. My first monograph was published in February 2021 and is titled: Transgender Identities in the Press (Bloomsbury).
