Biography<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Francesco Loriggio is Italian-born but received his university education in North America, at the University of British Columbia and the University of California at Los Angeles. A past president of the Canadian Society for Italian Studies and the last director of the Research Unit on Southern European Literature and Culture (RUSELC), he is currently Professor of Italian and Comparative Literary Studies in the College of the Humanities and in the Institute for Comparative Studies in Literature, Art and Culture.<\/p>\n

In the Carleton Italian program he has taught courses on every period of Italian literature from the 13th century to post-modernism. His teaching in comparative literary studies has been equally wide-ranging: during the last ten years he has devoted courses to such topics as literary theory, the idea and history of comparative literature, travel and displacement in European literature from Homer to post-colonialism, dramaturgical models in literature and the social sciences, the comic in modern culture, modernity and the idea of imitation, globalization and literary studies. In the College of the Humanities he has on occasion co-taught Humanities 3000 (\u201cCulture and Imagination from 1500 to 1800\u2033) and Humanities 3200 (\u201cContinental European Literature\u201d).<\/p>\n
