About Me
I specialize in sociocultural history and women’s and gender history in the eighteenth century.  , more specifically,  on gender representations, women’s intellectual practices, notions of the self and of intimacy, codes of politeness, and cultural transfers (travel, translations).  My work pays attention to the circulation of debates on gender in Europe (particularly between Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and Britain) and across the Atlantic.
I am presently coordinator of the projhect CIRGEN: Circulating Gender in the Global Enlightenment. Ideas, Networks, Agencies, funded by the European Research Council under Horizon 2020 (AdG-2017/787015).
