1st Interdisciplinary Italy Summer School/ Trinity College Dublin, 29-30 June 2018

1st Interdisciplinary Italy Summer School at Trinity College, The University of Dublin, Ireland, 29th and 30th June 2018

We invite applications from doctoral researchers to join the first Interdisciplinary Italy Summer School. The aims of the Summer School are: to train doctoral researchers in intermedial/interartistic theories and methodologies in order to strengthen the foundations of your research; to provide a networking opportunity for PhD students researching across artistic disciplines; to attempt to overcome some of the common obstacles of working between artistic disciplines; to support the development of serious academic work in Italian Studies on intermediality.

The two-day event includes a keynote lecture by Pierpaolo Antonello “Visible Books, Unreadable Books: Bruno Munari’s Peritextual Playground”, group discussion of key texts on intermediality and workshops facilitated by Pierpaolo Antonello (Reader, University of Cambridge), Clodagh Brook (Associate Professor, Trinity College) Emanuela Patti (Senior Research Fellow, Royal Holloway, University of London/University of Birmingham). Groups will produce collective blog posts or posters as part of the two-day exercise.

Doctoral researchers at any stage of their degree are welcome to attend.

Numbers are very limited, so please apply early with a 200-word abstract stating the title of your PhD and how you believe the summer school will benefit your research. Please address inquiries and send abstract to the co-organiser, Maria Del Buono, at mxd588@bham.ac.uk.

Cost: we are delighted to be able to provide this summer school to successful applicants at the reduced price of 20 euros for the two days (including lunch and coffee both days). This 20 euro reduced fee includes a student bursary of 70 euros. Successful doctoral students are responsible for sourcing and funding their own flights and accommodation.
