About our Faculty

The faculty associated with the program cover many different areas related to the study of the Italian language, Italian culture, and Italy’s relationships with other cultures. These include literature and translation, the visual arts (including film), music, drama, opera, linguistics, European history, the history of science, historical anthropology, and comparative religion. The student selects an area of specialization and plans, in collaboration with a faculty adviser and other program faculty members, an individual, multidisciplinary, multicultural curriculum.
