Instructor, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute
Marsha S. Fazio is a senior lecturer with the School of Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies at Arizona State University’s New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences. She received a bachelor of arts degree in English literature at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York and earned a doctorate in Language and Literature, specializing in British literature with a focus on linguistics from the University Statale in Milan, Italy.
After a decade-long stay in Italy and Switzerland, where she taught English Literature and worked as translator, Fazio settled in Phoenix and began teaching at ASU with the English Department at the Tempe vampus. Now at West campus, she teaches courses that include Grammar and Rhetoric, Writing for the Professions, Renaissance Drama, Renaissance Literature, Studies in Shakespeare and The Study of Language and Sociolinguistics.
Fazio’s summer breaks are spent in Europe, collaborating with colleagues at several Italian universities researching Italian Renaissance themes with a focus on monastic women. She continues her translation endeavors, currently working on “the lost dialect poetry” of Calabria, rendering versions in standard Italian and English. Fazio has presented public lectures in collaboration with the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies on such topics as "Fearless Females of the Global Renaissance" and "Emblematic Exchanges of Early Modern Venetian Women." An avid watercolor artist, with interests in design, Fazio's research also includes European cloth and colors, concentrating on the history of dyes.
