The Department of Italian at Georgetown University would like to invite you to the fifth edition of the Italian Language and Culture Conference titled "Connections." 

Through this topic, our encounter focuses on the challenges to research and teaching that both the pandemic and the changing social climate of the past two years have posed, as well as the innovations they have brought us to implement in our curricula and pedagogies. The 2022 Italian Language and Culture Conference is sponsored by the Department of Italian at Georgetown University and The Italian Cultural Institute In Washington D.C. as part of a series of events celebrating Italian Language Week. The event will be in person.
