My approach is transformative hermeneutics, which blends historical-critical hermeneutics with liberation theology and pedagogy. This method reveals the hidden nuances of discourse, uncovers the cultural patterns that sustain injustice and trauma, and crafts transformative solutions.

My journey began behind the scenes of the theatre world, where I discovered the transformative power of stories. This foundation later shaped my passion for exploring the intersections of religion, politics, and gender, in an academic journey that led me to specialize in the history of Islamic feminism and liberation theologies, and culminated with the Italian national habilitation to teach Muslim social and intellectual history. In my quest for acquiring forms of knowledge that can drive transformative action, I have lived in Afghanistan, Egypt, and South Africa, blending theoretical research with real-world experience of different contexts other than Europe.

My research bridges different disciplines and perspectives to shed light on alternative narratives about religious, ethnic and gender diversity, with the aim to counter hate-driven discourses and promote transcultural coexistence and solidarity.
