She is a full time researcher at the Center for Religious Studies of the Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK-ISR), which she joined in 2017. She promotes and coordinates studies and research projects on topics related to coexistence and pluralism. She is particularly interested in spatial studies, also applied to religion.
