Martina Rosola
Juan de la Cierva fellow from January 2024.
Areas of specialization: Philosophy of Language, Feminist Philosophy, Semantics, Pragmatics.
My main interest is the role of language in systems of injustice and how it can serve to either perpetuate or dismantle them. Within this perspective, I worked on generics, the linguistic form stereotypes typically take, and I'm currently working on gender-fair language.
I truly enjoy meaningful conversations and human relations, which is why I find the exchanges of ideas distinctive to research and teaching especially enriching.
In my free time, I like to dance traditional dances and spend time in nature. I also love painting, although I don't do it often. I live with two funny, adorable cats whom my partner, a philosopher of language as well, and I called Austin and Grice, in a peak nerd moment.
