Carmen Nocentelli joined the faculty in the Fall of 2004, after earning her Ph.D. in comparative literature at Stanford University. Her research and teaching interests include cross-cultural contacts and early modern colonial discourses, travel literature, drama, and epic poetry. Her publications include "Consuming Cannibals: Léry, Montaigne, and Communal Identities in Sixteenth-Century France," Nuevo Texto Crítico 23/24 (1999), and "The Erotics of Mercantile Imperialism," forthcoming in the Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies. Her current project focuses on the role of interracial romance narratives in the discourses of Europe's eastward expansion.
