The Department of Romance Languages is excited to welcome five new faculty members in 2025, across three of our four languages. Priscila Catalayud-Fernández joins us as Assistant Professor of Spanish, with a research and teaching focus on the literature and film of contemporary Spain. Assistant Professors of French Maureen DeNino and Lukas Ovrom bring specializations in 19th century literature and journalism as well as medieval literature and culture. And Lecturers Massimiliano Lorenzon and Giampaolo Molisina strengthen our Italian program with expertise in the medieval and Renaissance periods and post-WWII literature and cinema.
