About the event

In this special event, we reverse the roles of panelists and respondents as our panel consists of current and former students of the Italy by Design course. The respondents will be scholars who are contributing to the forthcoming Italy by Design book.

This event brings the series to an end on all that drives the Italy by Design course: Early Career visions for the future, including the future of cultural identity, consumption, sustainability, change, and of course Italy.

About the series

The Italy by Design guest series brings together international scholars and students of the Italy by Design course, open to honours and postgraduate students at the University of Edinburgh. Organised into themes, the series focuses on the art of cultural transmission, particularly in Italy over the last 500 years.

Each seminar lasts an hour and 15 minutes and consists of a panel of guest speakers and early career respondents, including current students. Each guest speaker is given five minutes to present their case as part of the opening round-table conversation, and respondents will have 20 minutes to offer comments and counter-arguments. The closing Q&A is open to all.

How to join

Events are open to all and held online on Microsoft Teams. No registration is necessary.

If you have any questions, please contact the project coordinator Federica G. Pedriali.
