Research
I am an Epistemologist working in both classical and social domains concerned with theories of knowledge.
Of particular interest for me is the nature and character of evidential support, the basing relation, justification, the structure of defeat, and the problem of skepticism. I have published extensively on rational underdetermination, dogmatism, and skepticism. Current interests in this field focus on epistemic entitltements, the knowledge-paradox, hinge epistemology, the a priori, and epistemic pragmatism.
In my work in social epistemology, I have focused on the topics of disagreement, trust, epistemic injustice, and the role of normative recognition. I am currently working on topics such as epistemic authority, autonomy, communitarian and non-ideal epistemology, and epistemic echo chambers.
I sometimes have some forays into philosophy of science and the history of philosophy. Lately, I've been having a growing interest in philosophical methodology, particularly concerning the significance of philosophical disagreement and argumentation.
I obtained my BA and MA in philosophy from the University of Pavia, with abroad study periods at the Universität Konstanz and the Freie Universität Berlin.
I did my PhD at the University of Edinburgh, with a research stay at the University of Leipzig.
My PhD Thesis can be found here: era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/38380
In the past, I've been post-doctoral researcher at IUSS Pavia and at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa. Recently, I have also had recurring visting stays at the Technische Universität Berlin.
