Biography
Victoria Witkowski is a postdoctoral fellow in the Italian Studies Department where she is turning her PhD into a monograph and expanding her research on western twentieth century concepts of fascist masculinity, imperial heroism and their public legacies. Her doctorate, which she conducted at the European University Institute in Florence, analysed the life, myth-making, and collective remembrance of fascist Italy’s most prominent colonial general, Rodolfo Graziani. She has conducted competitive research fellowships at Florida-International University (2023), the British School at Rome (2022-2023), New York University (2016-2017) and was a recipient of The Association for the Study of Modern Italy’s Christopher Duggan Postgraduate Research Grant (2022).
