Professor of Philosophy , Cardiff University I did my undergraduate work at Bologna University (Italy) and gained my PhD on Quine at the University of Hull (UK). In the meantime I studied and taught for a couple of years at Syracuse University (US) before coming to Cardiff in 1992. In 1996 I was a Visiting Senior Lecturer in School of Philosophy (General Philosophy) at the University of Sydney, and in 1997 I was Visiting Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Georgetown University (US). My current work lies at the intersection of ethics, the philosophy of language, and epistemology and focuses on epistemic vice, silencing, prejudice and ignorance. My latest book is The Mismeasure of the Self: A Study in Vice Epistemology (Oxford University Press, 2021). Research interests virtue and vice epistemology social epistemology epistemic injustice and the epistemology of ignorance silencing anger and affective polarization
