Dr Clementina GM Gentile Fusillo

Clementina joined the SMI in October 2022 to teach on our PPE programme. Before moving to Sheffield, Clem was an Institute of Advanced Studies Early Career Fellow at the University Warwick where, in 2021, she also completed her PhD in Political Theory. Her doctoral and postdoctoral research focussed on the truth-related moral demands democracy places on citizens and their representatives, bringing together approaches and themes in democratic theory, normative ethics, social epistemology and both analytic and continental philosophy. She is currently developing further some interdisciplinary aspects of her research, focusing in particular on the political psychology of democratic representatives. Clem is also interested in the history of political thought, engaging particularly with the thought of Hannah Arendt and Aldo Moro.
