For a more than human humanism
My research explores the intersections of literature, philosophy, history, and the Earth sciences, with particular attention to the relationships between human experience and the natural world. Through the concept of more-than-human humanism, I seek to reconsider the place of humanity within the broader ecological, geological, and historical processes that shape our existence.
A central concern of this work is the relationship between war and peace, memory and testimony, and the ways in which literature and interdisciplinary inquiry can deepen our understanding of a world that extends beyond the human.

The Dolomites: A Landscape of Memory and Transformation
My engagement with the Dolomites has grown out of an evolving intellectual and existential dialogue with the landscape. What began as an encounter with their extraordinary natural beauty gradually became an inquiry into geological time, human history, memory, and war.
The Dolomites have become more than a subject of study: a place where nature, culture, and the possibilities of peace intersect, shaping my understanding of a more-than-human humanism.
Earlier Research: Humanism and the Digital Age
Oregon Petrarch Open Book and Humanist Studies and the Digital Age represent two interconnected stages of my research into humanism and digital culture. The journal, which I founded and edited, grew out of the earlier project and became a forum for critical inquiry into the changing horizons of humanistic scholarship. Both projects concluded in 2024, opening the way to a new phase of my intellectual journey.
