- Biography
Anna Barattin is a lecturer in the Department of English where she teaches literature and First Year Composition. Her courses focus on spatial literacy and community engagement. She earned her Ph.D. in American Literature at Georgia State University. A native of Italy, she pursued both her bachelor and graduate degrees at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice in Foreign Languages and Literatures.
Dr. Barattin has dedicated the past several years to the study of geocentrism and American Literature. Her research establishes the social significance of concepts such as place, location, landscape, architecture, environment, home, city, region, territory, and geography. In her works, she argues that a localized understanding of the urban literary model can serve a larger frame of reference for a global interpretation of the non-conformative text.
