Myrto Petsota has taught languages, literature, and translation in secondary and higher education for over a decade. She completed a Ph.D. on Italo Calvino at the University of Edinburgh in 2012. In 2022 she obtained a doctoral contract for a second Ph.D. at Paul Valéry University Montpellier 3.

The core hypothesis of her current research is that built on the ruined landscape of progress, the novelistic knowledge of contemporary British fiction probes the anthropological deadlock of humankind in the age of neoliberalism and outlines a new humanist project through new forms, which go against the theoretical claims of posthumanism.

She has published on Calvino, Ballard and Cronenberg, Will Self. She is also a practicing literary critic in non-academic magazines, and a translator working in Modern Greek, French, English, and Italian.
