Transnational Italian Studies

The Transnational Italian Studies Department at ºÚÁÏÉçÇø emphasizes a holistic approach to the study of Italian culture and welcomes all students from the Tri-Co interested in Italian culture as viewed from a variety of critical perspectives and cross-cultural reflections, including but not limited to cultural studies, women’s studies and feminist criticism, post-colonial theory, and film theory.

The sound reputation of Italian that our department enjoys may be measured by the fact that all the students who have majored in Italian and have gone on to do graduate work in Italian have been accepted by the schools of their choice including Harvard, Berkeley, Rutgers, Johns Hopkins—often with financial assistance.
