About this website

My name is Andrea Fedi. I live on Long Island, and I work for the University of Stony Brook. I am an Associate Professor of Italian and Cultural Studies in the Department of Languages and Cultural Studies (LCS). I received my Bachelor in Italian Literature from the University of Florence (Italy) in 1989, and I have a PhD in Italian Studies from the University of Toronto (1994). I have been at Stony Brook University since 1994. During the last few years, I have shifted my scholarly focus from Italian Studies to cultural studies (in particular, travel literature on Tuscany, technology and society during the early 1900s, and the digital humanities). This is my personal site, which was created and opened to the public on Oct. 22, 2010. It resides on a server run by DreamHost.
