I am an international Ph.D. candidate in History and Cultural Studies at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and a recipient of the Evangelisches Studienwerk Villigst scholarship in Germany. Currently, I am a Visiting Scholar at Sidney Sussex College Cambridge and the Faculty of History of the University of Cambridge in the UK. During my master's and bachelor's years, I studied History, History of Religions, and Philosophy at the University of Turin & University of Perugia in Italy, as well as at the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of IaÅŸi in Romania. My perspective on life is to learn as much as possible about the world, people, and cultures. As a result, I consider myself a global citizen.
The dissertation project I am currently working on is called Nation-State Building at the Crossroads of Gender, Culture, and Religion: Protestant Women Schoolteachers in Italy, 1860-1915. The project investigates for the first time how and why a group of minority Protestant women tried to build the Italian nation through professional teaching and missionary activities.
