Biography

Daisy Delogu is the Howard L. Willett Professor of French Literature at the University of Chicago. She received her PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 2003. Her research focuses on the Middle Ages and the complex dynamics of literature and social identity during this period. Delogu's work explores how literary texts shape individual and collective identities, revealing the ideological conflicts and cultural struggles of their time. She is currently writing a monograph titled 'Political Pastoral: Shepherds, Sheep, Wolves in Late Medieval France and Burgundy (1364-1461)', supported by an ACLS fellowship, which investigates political organization and the exercise of power through pastoral imagery in literature. Additionally, she is co-editing a volume of essays on the 'Roman de la Rose' for the Modern Language Association. Throughout her career, Delogu has taught a variety of courses, including advanced seminars and introductory literature courses, focusing on texts that provide rich explorations of gender, power, and identity in medieval France.
