The Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies is housed in the Italian Program (Department of Spanish and Italian) at Montclair State University, New Jersey (USA) and is dedicated to the promotion of Italian language and culture through the design, organization and support of cultural programs, research activities, professional opportunities for teachers, as well as educational and pre-professional initiatives for students. In line with its trans-national approach to cultural promotion, it has collaborated with several academic, governmental, and independent institutions both in Italy and the U.S.. Since the inception of this position, the Inserra Chair holder has been Dr. Teresa Fiore.
In its collaboration with Prescott Studio, the Inserra Chair and select faculty in the Italian Program such as Dr. Marisa Trubiano have provided: 1. Full translations of theater scripts and librettos; 2. Development and timing of surtitles; and 3. Quality control of existing translations and surtitles. The Inserra Chair has also opened a series of opportunities for students, professors, and professional experts through round tables, in-class presentations, and internships (Cooperative Education courses, post-BA assistantships, and internships in Italy).
