Background:
My current research focus
is twofold. I am working
on twentieth-century poetry
as well as on the related
concepts of migration, boundaries,
and frontiers in contemporary
and 20th-century Italian
literature. I have written
extensively on Manzoni and
more recently on the writings
of contemporary author Claudio
Magris. At IU, I serve as
Director of the College
Arts and Humanities Institute
and was Chair of the Department
of French and Italian from
July 1999 through June 2007.
I have directed the Summer
Program in Florence several
times, most recently in
2008, and have published
articles on modern and contemporary
Italian culture in journals
in Italy as well as in the
US. I am the editor of Italica,
the journal of the American
Association of Teachers
of Italian.
