Career
[edit]During his philosophy studies and a brief academic career in various universities in central Italy,[2] he discovered feminist literature and its key figures. He decided to focus on promoting and popularizing gender studies, particularly for a male audience. He organized seminars, workshops, and labs in universities, schools, community centers, companies, trade unions, professional associations and self-organized groups. He writes for specialist and popular magazines, both online and in print editions.[3]
Gasparinni's writing is dedicated to feminisms and new masculinities. They are published by Tlon, Settenove, Eris[4] and Effequ.[5] He has been a speaker at the Journalism Festival in Perugia and Elastica in Bologna[6] and he teaches students during their academic master's programs[7][8] emphasizing the benefits of adopting inclusive language both in professional environments and everyday life.[3]
