Dennis McAuliffe (pronounced “micauliffe” in the Italian classroom) joins Bryn Mawr College’s Italian Department in the 2008/09 academic year when he will be teaching Elementary Italian (fall, spring), Dante’s Divine Comedy (fall) and Manzoni’s I promessi sposi (spring). His interest in Italian Studies as a career dates to his undergraduate Junior Year Abroad, which he spent in Milano at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore studying Latin and greek classics. Among the universities where he has taught previously are NYU (1973-1976), where he completed his PhD in Italian Literature, the University of Toronto (1976-1999) and Georgetown University (1999-2008). His current teaching and research interests are Dante, Boccaccio, and Medieval Italian women writers, 1200-1600. He also teaches meditation as a co-curricular practice.
