At Brown, Benedetta Gennaro's research concentrated on gender and sexuality studies, women violence and war, with specific focus on the Risorgimento. She has published articles based on her dissertation on such Risorgimento figures as Countess Maria Martini della Torre, and Stamura d'Ancona, written under the direction of M. Riva. While at Brown, she also contributed to the Garibaldi and the Risorgimento project. After a stint in the Institute of Sociology at Technical University, Darmstadt, she has pursued a career in administration at that institution where she is now Head of International Student Services.
