I live and work in Naples, Italy. Have researched and taught extensively on thinking with the Mediterranean in a trans-disciplinary and postcolonial fashion. Am also interested in how certain practices – musics and the contemporary arts – become critical languages in their own right, disturbing existing disciplinary logics and institutional knowledge formations.
