She obtained her Ph.D. in Philosophy at the University of Parma (Ph.D. course in Philological-Literary, Historical-Philosophical and Artistic Sciences), with the dissertation "Recognition and Life. A Study on Axel Honneth's Theory of Recognition and John Dewey's Naturalistic Humanism". She has carried out research visiting in Finland (Tampere University) and Germany (Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster).

Her research interests lie in the fields of critical theory, social philosophy, and philosophical anthropology, and focus on the theory of social recognition between groups or individuals (Frankfurt School and American Pragmatism) and on the non-reductionist forms of naturalism for the critique and ethical transformation of social contexts.
