I received my PhD from the Universities of Bologna and Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. After research and teaching experiences in Italy, France, Switzerland and Brazil, I am now a Lecturer in Human Geography in the School of Geography at University College Dublin (UCD). My research and teaching interests lie in philosophy and history of geography, cultural geography and postcolonial/decolonial studies, as well as on international circulation of geographical knowledge through critical and anarchist approaches, with a special focus on Latin America and the Global South. I am now working on a research project funded by the Royal Irish Academy and UCD College of Social Sciences and Law, addressing the international networks of Latin American radical geographers and their impact on worldwide critical and radical geographical scholarship in the second half of the twentieth century, with a special focus on the archives of the Brazilian geographers persecuted or marginalised by the 1964-1985 military dictatorship including, among others, Josué de Castro, Manuel Correia de Andrade and Milton Santos.
