Chiara holds PhD in Cultural Anthropology from Heriot-Watt University (UK). Chiara has been engaging with EDI issues for over a decade, with a particular interest in the intersection between gender and disability. She is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the UKRI funded Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Caucus (EDICa) at Heriot-Watt University. Her role in the caucus is to explore the relationships between life events and career, by focusing on reproductive health in the workplace. Her main concern is to address barriers to inclusion, development, and progression for commonly marginalised and underrepresented groups in male-dominated sectors.
