Giulia Magro is a Ph.D. student in Studies in English Literatures, Cultures, Language and Translation (Literary and Cultural Studies curriculum) at the University of Rome Sapienza, in co-tutelle with the University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland). She graduated with a Master of Arts in Linguistic, Literary and Translation Studies at the University of Rome Sapienza in January 2021 with a dissertation titled "The Knight Keeps Setting Forth: An Analysis of the Continuity of Medieval Chivalric Romances in American Literature". During her Master of Arts degree, she has studied abroad at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. for nine months, thanks to the Erasmus Plus programme. Her current research interests include the pervasiveness of medievalisms in American literature and culture, especially in the context of works of speculative fiction and science fiction, and the application of ecocritical and posthumanist approaches to the analysis of novels.
