curriculum vitae

Giovanna Roz worked at STG as Research Analyst from 1999 until August 2002, when she was transfered to the CIS Instructional Techonology Group. She started working at STG in 1997, when she came to Brown University as a Visiting Scholar.

Giovanna's research focus is on SGML/XML encoding in the Humanities, issues of scholarly digitization of early printed books, web editing and development - inclusive of image optimization and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) - and W3C validation standards.

Giovanna received her training in SGML encoding from the Women Writers Project, and has applied it to numerous STG projects, including the production and web delivery of an SGML-encoded version of Decameron, in collaboration with the Italian Studies Department, and the most recent Pico 900 Theses project, for which she has been the primary STG lead.

She has also acquired experience in the dynamic web delivery of relational databases, and has designed the on-line catalog for the Women Writers Project website, and has conceived the structural and web design of the database section of A & L. Tirocchi Dressmakers Project.

Until July 2002, she was the editor of the website for Brown University's H. W. Sheridan Center for Teaching and Learning and often teamed up with other STG staff in the development of websites, such as the "The Whole World Was Watching", the ACH web, "Writing Vietnam", the Humanitarianism and War Project, and the A & L. Tirocchi Dressmakers Project.
She was also responsible for developing and maintaining the STG Website, in collaboration with the now staff alumnus Jacque Russom.

Giovanna graduated from Università degli studi di Torino, Italy in 1995, with a thesis on Late Empire Latin authors and history. In 1997 she received a Masters Degree in Multimedia Technology and Communications from COREP in Turin, Italy.
