Giorgia Maurovich is an independent researcher, essayist, and literary translator specialised in Central and Eastern European cultural histories. She holds an MA in Comparative and Postcolonial Literatures from the University of Bologna, with research periods at Harvard’s Institute of World Literature, the University of Vienna, and Humboldt University Berlin. Her academic work focuses on comparative literary theory and the visual genealogies of dissent in Central Europe, a field she explored as a curatorial resident in Budapest and Ljubljana.

In addition to translating for CELA, Giorgia works in a literary and organisational capacity on cross-border projects between Italy and Slovenia. She contributes essays and long-forms to international cultural platforms such as Il Tascabile, New Eastern Europe, Literatura and Razpotja, and she is currently working on her first collection of literary essays, to be published by Črna skrinjica.
