Julie Van Peteghem studied Classical and Italian Linguistics and Literature at Ghent University, Belgium.

She also earned a Master in Literary Studies, a joint program of the Universities of Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, and Leuven. She is currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Italian at Columbia University, affiliated with the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society. Her main interests are Medieval Latin and Italian literature and the Classical reception.
