Valentina Gosetti

(She / lei / elle)
Associate Professor in French and Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow, University of New England

I am originally from Collio di Vobarno, a small town of the province of Brescia, in the north of Italy, not far away from Lake Garda. After attending the Liceo “Enrico Fermi” in Salò (BS, Italy), I completed a Diploma di Laurea in French and English languages, literatures, and cultures at the University of Bologna (Italy); and then an MSt and a DPhil in French at the University of Oxford (Balliol College). I have been a pensionnaire étrangère at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, rue d’Ulm, and an intern at UNESCO (Headquarters, Paris). Before joining the University of New England (Australia), I held the Kathleen Bourne Junior Research Fellowship in French and Comparative Literature at St Anne’s College (Oxford, UK).

Currently, I am the recipient of an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Award (DE200101206: Provincial Poets and the Making of a Nation) funded by the Australian Government.
