He is currently the Chair of the Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, where he has been teaching courses, among other subjects, on Dante since 2010. His research addresses the diffusion of philosophical ideas in European history, especially between the thirteenth and the sixteenth century, and places itself at the intersection of the histories of philosophy, religion, and literature.
