Biography
Dr. Haraguchi joined the Italian faculty in 2011 after receiving a BA from BYU in International Relations, an MA in Italian Studies from the University of Virginia, and a PhD in Italian Language and Literature from the University of Chicago. Her research focuses on Counter-Reformation Italy, women’s writings, early modern education for women, and women’s social and religious history. She has published essays on religious communities for women in early modern Italy, female spirituality and authorship, and is currently at work on a critical edition and English translation of the creative works of the seventeenth-century Florentine writer and educator Eleonora Ramirez di Montalvo for the Toronto seriesThe Other Voice in Early Modern Europe.
