Italian studies

Supervision of PhD and Master of Arts research candidature is available. For details, refer to the entries on these degrees under `General information' earlier in this section. Italian studies focuses on the study of Italian literature, history, language and linguistics, renaissance culture and literature, 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, renaissance culture and literature, Italian sociolinguistics, Italian women's studies, Italian theatre and cinema studies, and Italian migration studies. For up-to-date information about research areas, refer to the staff and research interest sections at the Italian website at http://www.arts.monash.edu.au/ italian/about/.
