ROZZONI Stefano

Stefano Rozzoni, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow and Lecturer at the University of Bergamo, Italy. He has previously held the position of Postdoctoral University Assistant at the University of Graz, Austria. He earned a PhD in ‘Transcultural Studies in Humanities’ from the University of Bergamo, as well as a PhD in ‘Literary and Cultural Studies’ (cotutelle) from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen.

Dr. Rozzoni’s research interests focus on environmental narratives in Anglophone literature and culture across different periods (primarily the 20th century, with a particular emphasis on Georgian Poetry, Modernist British literature, the Bloomsbury Group, Virginia Woolf, and Vita Sackville-West), media (including movies, theatre, memes, video games), and themes (such as the pastoral, Franciscanism, urban and rural spaces and places, and ecofascism).

His current research project intersects the Environmental Humanities and the Digital Humanities to investigate contemporary manifestations of the pastoral.

Posthumanism plays a central role in Dr. Rozzoni's transdisciplinary investigations across philosophy, education, and literature. He is the co-founder of the Italian Posthuman Network (Rete Posthuman Italiana).

Dr. Rozzoni integrates economic and literary discourse, particularly in relation to past and present influences of Franciscan philosophy in Anglophone literature and culture.

He is the Principal Investigator (PI) of the Research Network "N.E.S.T. Research Network. Narratives in Environmental and Sustainable Transitions," funded by the European Union (NextGenerationEU) and the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) - Fondo Promozione e Sviluppo.
