Bio

Pit-roig Vinyals i Tasa (Sabadell, 1992). A member of the Linguistic Rights Committee and the Committee Against the Climate Emergency of Catalan PEN, as well as an activist in Obertament against myths and stigma around mental health.

Co-author of Màtria o barbarie: 30 veus del feminisme català (Matria or Barbarity: 30 Voices of Catalan Feminism (Angle Editorial, 2024) and El dret a la llengua (The Right to Language)(Saldonar, 2025). Pit-roig has studied Philosophy (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Mathematics (University of Barcelona), Cognitive Science (University of Barcelona) and Political Analysis (Open University of Catalonia).

She has taken part in programmes across Europe aimed at both research and the achievement of gender equality in academia. Examples include the European Summer School in Language, Logic and Information (Ollscoil na Gaillimhe/University of Galway, 2022) and the Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students (LMU München/Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, 2019). After a few years as a German professor at several Catalan universities (University of Barcelona, Open University of Catalonia, University of Girona), she is currently dedicated to Human Rights activism.

Project

At Faberllull, she will work on the project "And many names will suit one love: alleged by universal linguistic justice", which aims to highlight and denounce the pandemic and deadly nature of the loss of language diversity, as well as explore its causes -or rather, its faults- with the aim of highlighting and drawing attention to the fact that linguicide, ecocide and liberticide respond to the same common denominator: the logic of supremacism. In one case, human supremacism over the planet and species, and in the other two, supremacism of a few human groups over all others.
