Supervision of PhD and masters candidature is available. Refer to the front of the Arts postgraduate section for course details. Italian studies focuses on the study of Italian literature, history, language and linguistics, women's studies, cinema studies, and social and linguistic issues connected with Italian migration to Australia. Any examination of these cultural issues inevitably also addresses issues of identity, gender relations, and the diversities within Italian social and family systems. Italian studies staff can provide supervision of research candidates in the areas of 19th and 20th-century Italian literature, Italian sociolinguistics, Italian women's studies, Italian theatre and cinema studies, and Italian migration studies.
