Rebecca is a Stipendiary Lecturer in Italian at St Hugh’s College. Previously, she studied at the University of St Andrews, was an Associate Lecturer in Italian at St Andrews (2021-22), and held postdoctoral positions at St Andrews (2022-23) and Trinity College Dublin (2023-25). Rebecca researches in modern and contemporary Italian literature and culture. Her primary concern has been with the relationship between self-formation and narrative in women’s life-writing in Italian, or rather, in how individual selves are represented in writing and in why particular narrative choices are deemed right or necessary.
