Dr. Di Mauro-Jackson along with her students will discuss their unique experiences during their 2023 Summer Study Abroad trip to Sorento, Italy.
Dr. Moira Di Mauro-Jackson received her PhD at the University of Texas at Austin in Comparative Literature. Her field of study revolves around French, Italian, and English Narrative and Drama of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. Since 1987, Moira, a native Italian, has been teaching French at Texas State University in San Marcos, from where she received a Master of Arts. In 2005, Moira introduced the Italian Language Program at Texas State University and directs a Summer Abroad Program to Italy every summer. Her program uses an immersion approach to language learning at Texas State University. The overall goal of the course is to guide students to communicate in Italian and to increase their cultural awareness, as well as to help the students become global-ready graduates for the 21st century.
