Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Carlotta Moro is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Exeter. Before joining the ‘Cultures of Philosophy’ project, she received her AHRC-funded PhD in Italian from the University of St Andrews (2024) and worked as a Teaching Assistant at St Andrews and at the Italian Cultural Institute of Edinburgh. Her projects in the pipeline include a monograph on Lucrezia Marinella, a bilingual edition of Camilla Bonfiglio’s Book in Praise of Women and On the Cruelty of Men (The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe), a guest-edited Special Issue of Renaissance Studies on Moderata Fonte, and a study of women’s engagement with natural philosophy in the Academy of Arcadia, forthcoming within the team’s co-edited Women Writing Natural Philosophy in Early Modern Europe (Brill’s Studies in Intellectual History). Carlotta has also published on Carla Lonzi, Elena Ferrante, and on the reception of Renaissance pro-woman thought within twentieth-century Italian feminism, and remains interested in these fields.
