Italian Studies

At Brown, Vika Zafrin designed an Integrative Study Ph.D. in Italian studies and Digital Humanities. Her groundbreaking dissertation, written under the direction of M. Riva, was focused on the Roland Corpus, from La Chanson de Roland to Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato and Ariosto Orlando Furioso, and was conceived as a Hypertextual application that she designed and implemented. In 2004-06, she was NEH Project Director of the Virtual Humanities Lab. Before her current position she was a Digital Scholarship Librarian at Boston University, until 2020.
