Researcher Details |

Marta Prandelli

I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow with a Master of Science in Psychology and a PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Padova, Italy. Currently, I lead the CHRISALIS project, which investigates the societal and cultural dimensions of variations of sex characteristics (VSC), also known as intersex variations, in Italy and Ireland. My research aims to explore the experiences of individuals with VSC and various stakeholders, ultimately informing the development of effective policies in this field.

My academic journey has taken me across Italy, where I have worked at the University of Padova and the University of Bergamo, and the UK, where I was affiliated with The Open University. In addition to my academic roles, I have gained valuable experience in government, working for Polis-Lombardia, an Italian Regional Policy Centre, and in the non-profit sector with the Italian Red Cross. These diverse experiences have enriched my interdisciplinary approach to research and advocacy.
