Giovanna Scocozza is an associate professor in the scientific-disciplinary sector L-LIN/07 – Language and Translation – Spanish Language at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. Her recent research has focused on the analysis of experiences of non-violent struggle in contemporary Latin American and Spanish contexts, as well as the possible influence of Aldo Capitini's thought in these contexts. She has also been engaged in new reflections on identity and migration issues present in the Hispanic world, always with particular attention to the complex reality of the Spanish-Moroccan border. Her studies are also centered on the multifaceted world of philosophical translation, now with an eye towards the other side of the ocean, that is, towards that Latin American philosophical and political thought which, while maintaining its specificity and originality, should also absolutely be considered an active part of humanism and universal culture (see the translation of P. Guadarrama's volume, “Philosophy and Filosofía sin más. Philosophy, culture and politics in Hispanic America”). She is currently Director of the Center for Linguistic Assessment and Certification (CVCL) at the University for Foreigners of Perugia, as well as Rector’s Delegate for International Relations (Latin America Area). She is director of the Polispanica series, published by Guida Editore, as well as a member of the scientific committee of several series and journals. She is a member of the Interuniversity Center for Comparative Area Studies: Asia, Africa, Latin America (ASAFAL) – University of Siena, and "Distinguished Visitor" at the Italian University Institute of Rosario (Argentina).
