Simone Leone

As a first-gen student, Simone is currently pursuing a PhD in Philosophy, Science, Cognition, and Semiotics (XL cycle) at the Department of Philosophy, University of Bologna.

His doctoral research is carried out under the UNESCO Chair in Global Citizenship Education in Higher Education and within the International Research Centre on Global Citizenship Education (IRC-GloCEd).
Simone’s work explores Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and pre-service secondary teacher training and education through queer and ecofeminist lenses. He aims to theorize a situated, intersectional, and multispecies model of GCED that critically challenges universalist, heteronormative, and speciesist assumptions. His research is supervised by UNESCO Chair holder and IRC-GloCEd Director, Prof. Massimiliano Tarozzi.
