Brenda Rosado earned her Ph.D. in the Romance Languages and Literatures program, and the heart of her dissertation was the novella tradition.  Her research encompasses three literatures – Italian, Spanish, and neo-Latin – and focuses on authorial shame(lessness) and the intersection between translation, imitation, and originality.  She filed her dissertation, entitled Immodest Modesties and Shameless Counter-Authorships, in December 2023.

Brenda earned her B.A. in Classical Studies and Italian Studies at the University of Houston.  She enjoys a wholehearted life among her communities of friends in academia, beach volleyball, book club, Regeneration Church, Cityteam Oakland, and salsa dancing.

Brenda is working for the department in Spring 2024.
