Summary: We reassess the subject of topological gravity by following the shift supersymmetry formalism. The gauge-fixing of the theory goes under the Batalin-Vilkovisky (BV) prescription based on a diagram that contains both ghost and antighost superfields, associated with the supervielbein and the super-Lorentz connection. We extend the formulation of the topological gravity action to an arbitrary number of dimensions of the shift superspace by adopting a formulation based on the gauge-fixing for BF-type models.
