DrMargherita Giordano

I am a postdoctoral researcher in philosophy at University College Dublin, Ireland. I completed my Ph.D. in philosophy from the FINO Northwest Italy Philosophy Ph.D. Program and the Università del Piemonte Orientale in 2026. My research focuses on the history of philosophy, with particular interest in late Enlightenment and the history of women philosophers, and explores questions concerning moral philosophy, philosophical anthropology, self-cultivation, and the relationship between philosophy and literature.

I currently work on the ERC funded “BMoral” project, which aims to rethink established narratives about eighteenth-century British moral philosophy by paying particular attention to the contributions of women and other underrepresented figures in the history of philosophy.
