Biography

Research interests

I am a historian specialising in the social, gender and political history of 20th Century Europe. I was educated in Belgium and Italy, and have worked in The Netherlands, France and the UK.

I started my career studying West European communism during the Cold War period, specifically the impact of the Czechoslovak crisis of 1968 on the Italian and French communist parties. This research was published as a monograph, and led me to write several articles on the post-1945 history of the European left, political and social mobilisations around ‘1968’, and collective memory of World War Two. Since 2010 I have turned my attention to women’s and gender history, resulting in a monograph on Italian feminism in the long 1970s (2014; Italian translation 2019), and numerous articles on Italian, French, and transnational feminisms. I have edited special issues on transnational social activism in Cold War Europe, on feminism and translation practices, and on women and work in post-war Europe. My work has appeared in five languages.

Since 2020, I have studied various aspects of the global history of reproductive rights thinking and reproductive governance. Recently I have published a cluster of articles relating to family planning activism in post-war France and Italy and the emergence of reproductive rights thinking in global feminist networks. I was the recipient of an AHRC Leadership Fellowship entitled ‘Inventing Reproductive Rights: Bodies, Sex and Population in Europe, 1945-1995’. Resulting from that project, I have two books contracted; the first of these is a monograph to appear with Oxford University Press in 2025, which presents an intersectional approach to the liberalisation of contraception and abortion in 1960s-70s France. The other is an edited volume entitled ‘From rights to justice: Global  reproductive politics since 1945’, to appear with University of California Press in 2025.

I have led or collaborated on research projects funded by AHRC, British Academy, Royal Society of Edinburgh, and Leverhulme Trust.
