Luca Gendolavigna

Luca Gendolavigna serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Modern Literature and Culture at Sapienza University of Rome, specializing in Nordic languages, literatures, and translation studies. His academic work spans linguistics, post-immigrant literature, and multicultural discourse analysis.

• Teaches advanced courses in Nordic languages, literatures, and translation

His recent publications (2021-2024) demonstrate consistent exploration of:
