Biography
Stefano “SteBos” Boselli is a theatre and performance scholar, stage director, and dramaturg who enjoys combining theory with practice. At UNLV he is assistant professor of theatre history and dramaturgy, head of theatre studies, and resident dramaturg for the Nevada Conservatory Theatre. He also serves as theatre and performance editor for PSA, the journal of the Pirandello Society of America.
In his monograph Actor-Network Dramaturgies: The Argentines of Paris (Palgrave 2023), he illustrates how the study of theatre history can be significantly enriched through the lens of actor-network and assemblage theories, focusing on a group of Argentine artists who moved to France and dominated the Parisian scene between the 1980s and 90s. He is currently co-editor of Revealing Posthuman Encounters in Performance, a two-volume collection by international scholars in contract with Routledge (forthcoming 2027–28). His peer reviewed articles have been published in several academic journals.
Boselli received a Ph.D. in Theatre and Performance from the Graduate Center, City University of New York, a Ph.D. in Italian with specialization in theatre and drama from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, an MFA in Stage Directing from the School of Dramatic Art “Paolo Grassi” in Milan, Italy, and a laurea (BA/MA) in English Literature and Translation for the Stage from the Catholic University, also in Milan.
Between 2014 and 2022 he taught theatre and literature courses in and around New York, at Baruch, Marymount Manhattan, York, Wagner, Brooklyn, and Hunter College, in addition to Drew and Centenary University. Previously, he taught courses in Italian theatre, first year seminars on commedia, and directed a mainstage production of one of Carlo Goldoni’s comedies at Gettysburg College. Before moving to the United States, he taught Translation for the Theatre at the University of Cassino in Italy.
