He has lived and worked in Bologna and Rome, where he served first as the Assistant Director of Brown University’s program in Bologna and more recently as Director of Trinity College’s Rome Campus. Motivated by the desire to have an immersive cultural exchange experience, he initially moved to Italy to teach English in private and public schools after finishing his B.A. in Art History at the University of Georgia. He holds a Ph.D. in Italian Studies from Brown University and an M.A. in Italian from Middlebury College. Stephen’s research and teaching interests include twentieth-century visual arts and design, in particular Italian Futurism.
