Biography
Before joining the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” as Lecturer in English Language and Translation in December 2020, I taught English Language at the Medical Departments of the University of Foggia (2019/20). Prior to my academic appointment, I worked in secondary schools in Arezzo, first as a supply teacher (2005-2014) and later as a full teacher (2014-2020). For my MA, I studied Foreign Languages at the University of Naples “L’Orientale” (1998/2003), after which I pursued a DPhil in English Literature at the University of Pisa (2017). At the University of Bari “Aldo Moro” I am in charge of a research project on the interface between the market of specialised translation in Apulia and the educational needs of students of specialised translation (POR PUGLIA FESR-FSE 2014/2020).
Teaching and Theses Supervision
At ungraduated levels, I have taught widely English linguistics (semantics and syntax) and ecolingusitics. I have also taught 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 and Renaissance poetry.
