Work
I currently teach in the Italian program at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). My research interests include 20th century Italian literature with a focus on environmental literature and cinema, Italian 20th-century writer Italo Calvino, and pandemic studies (see my university profile here).On Medium, I write about productivity. I discuss topics that are relevant to instructors and students, from pedagogy tips to tech shortcuts, like apps and other software. I have lots of ideas churning in my head, and I can’t wait to put them all into words. I hope that you’ll follow along in my journey!
About
My name is Giordano Mazza, and I'm a Visiting Lecturer of Italian in the Department of Hispanic and Italian Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago (see my university profile here). I hold a doctorate from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as well as a Master’s degree in English and Spanish Literature.I enjoy reading productivity and self-help books in my spare time. As a result, I try to apply what I learn in productivity books to my life and work. I strive to be productive and fill my days with activities that add value to my life.On the weekends, I like to hang out with my pup friends at The Anti-Cruelty Society in downtown Chicago, where I volunteer.
