Biography

I joined the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” in December 2020 where for three years (2020/2023) I was a Junior Researcher (RTD-A) in English Language and Translation and I was in charge of a research project on the mismatch between the market of specialised translation and the educational needs of students of specialised translation in Apulia (POR PUGLIA FESR-FSE 2014/2020). Before my experience in Bari, I was an Adjunct Professor of English Language at the Medical Departments of the University of Foggia (2019/2020). Before my academic appointment, I taught English in secondary schools in Arezzo, first as a supply teacher (2005/2014) and since 2024 as a full teacher. For my MA, I studied Foreign Languages (English, French and Spanish) at the University of Naples “L’Orientale” (1998/2003), after which I pursued a DPhil in English Literature at the University of Pisa (2013/2017).

Teaching and Theses Supervision

At ungraduated levels, I have taught widely English linguistics (semantics and syntax) and ecolinguistics. I have also taught the theory of translation, focusing on the Italian translations of William Shakespeare’s sonnets. I would welcome for supervision dissertations on all aspects of contemporary fiction, postcolonial literatures in English, trauma studies, affect studies, ecolinguistics, environmental humanities, Victorian fiction, and Renaissance poetry.
