In connection with the latter I and Paul Tucker organized an international 3 day seminar in collaboration with the University of Pisa, the Scuola Normale and the Fondazione Ragghianti.

 

In May 2004 I and professor Angelo Turco organised an interdisciplinary conference on discourses of war, “Dire la Guerra e/è farla”, which was financed by the University of l’Aquila.

 

I participate actively in the conferences of the Italian Association of English Studies (AIA) and the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE), and the Italain Association for Eighteenth-Century Studies I have held two Research Fellowships at the William Andrews Clark Library and Center for 17th and 18th Century Studies Los Angeles.

 

I was a member of a research group whose project “La Guerra contro i teatri” was financed by the Italian government in 2004-6; the project concluded with an international conference. While at the University of Pisa I served on various Faculty committees, coordinated literature teaching in the English Department, represented the humanities in the Senate of the University and was member of the Senate Standing Committee for Teaching.
