Cristiana Roffi

Cristiana Roffi holds a joint doctoral degree in Latin Literature from the University of Trento and the University of Augsburg. During her Ph.D. she investigated the 1545 retelling of Ovid’s Metamorphoses by German author Jörg Wickram, thus contributing to the literature on the Ovidian reception during the Reformation in Germany and, more broadly, across Europe. She graduated in Classics from the University of Bologna (BA/MA) and was visiting researcher at the University of Freiburg, the Humboldt University of Berlin and the Ohio State University (Virginia Brown fellowship). Her main research interests focus on the Reception of Classics, Imperial Latin Poetry (in particular Ovid) and Ecocriticism. She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Jackman Humanities Institute of the University of Toronto, supervised by Prof. Alison Keith.
