Valeria Venditti (Ph.D. – she/her; they/them) is Lecturer in Ethics at the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University College Cork. She landed at University College Cork (Department of Philosophy) in 2018 and never left. In Cork, she worked as an IRC Post-doc Fellow with a project on LGBT rights in Ireland, taught Feminist Philosophy and Political Philosophy. In 2021 she was appointed Adjunct Professor in Political Philosophy at Trinity College Dublin, where she worked until 2022. Her background is in Ethics and Political Philosophy, and her research has mainly developed along these two lines. On one side, since the starting of her Ph.D. (awarded in 2016 by La Sapienza), she has tackled the topic of inclusive policies and identity rights, with particular attention to LGBT groups, women and people with disabilities. On the other hand, her research addresses ethical and bioethical questions, specifically in relation to maternity, abortion and conscientious objection, Assisted Reproductive Technologies and surrogacy, as well as gender confirmation surgery. Her current research explores the intersections between humanities and healthcare and the possibility of creating a fairer healthcare system for gender-nonconforming people.
