MASTROPIERRO LORENZO | Università degli studi dell'Insubria

Email

I joined the University of Insubria in July 2021 as a Lecturer in English Language and Translation in the Department of Human Sciences and Innovation for the Territory. Since July 2020 I’m also an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham. Before joining the University of Insubria, I worked as a Teaching Associate (2017-2020) and Teaching Affiliate (2012-2015) at University of Nottingham, and Research Associate (2016-2107) and Teaching Fellow (2016) at the University of Birmingham. I hold a PhD in English Linguistics from the University of Nottingham, an MA in translation theory and praxis and a BA in modern languages from the University of Bari Aldo Moro.
