An education organized around difficult questions.
Giulia received an elite accelerated private education at a small school for gifted students and began university unusually early, excelling in advanced philosophy seminars from the beginning. Her subsequent graduate-level philosophical training and sustained independent work have centered on Continental European ethical and political philosophy, developed through close study and guidance from distinguished faculty at a leading liberal-arts college and through advanced programs including recent study in Paris on the value of humanistic education in the age of artificial intelligence.
She describes herself as a perennial student of philosophy: rigorous without being doctrinaire, learned without treating thought as a credentialing exercise. Her work joins philosophy to visual art, film, dance, writing, education, sexuality, and the lived problems of power.
“Desert islands are either from before or for after humankind.”
The philosophers are companions in thought, not decorative names.
- Nietzsche — feminism, sexual difference, ressentiment, morality, biography, the pre-Socratics, and the art of becoming.
- Foucault — gender, sexuality, discipline, confession, power, truth, and parrhesia.
- Kant — reason, autonomy, ethics, judgment, and the limits structuring human experience.
- Deleuze and Derrida — desire, difference, interpretation, creation, and the futures opened by thought.
- Arendt and Heidegger — political life, action, world, technology, mortality, and being.
- Posthumanism — artificial intelligence, human-machine intimacy, neuroscience, cryptography, and the political conditions of technology.
An intellectual history in public.
