Italian Crisis’ In 1994, the Association for the Student of Modern Italy (ASMI) organised a conference around the theme of the ‘Italian crisis’. Silvio Berlusconi had just been elected as Prime Minister and the country was in dire economic straits. The political system was in tatters after the tangentopoli scandals. The crisis was analysed from a political, cultural, historical and social viewpoints in a conference that was extremely well attended and led to fascinating discussions after every paper. The papers from the conference were then collected and published in the first issue of the journal Modern Italy. Now, twenty years on, ASMI revisits the Italian crisis through a major two-day international conference which looks at the Italian crisis in terms of politics, economics, culture, the media, cinema and literature - with papers on Silvio Berlusconi, Matteo Renzi, Beppe Grillo and his movement, the Italian left, the crisis of masculinity, memory and fascism and many other areas. Over forty speakers will give talks during the conference, which will be held in the beautiful surroundings of the Italian Institute in central London. This is an opportunity to discuss and debate themes linked to the ongoing idea of an Italian crisis, and to meet scholars and others interested in Italy and working on contemporary Italian themes. Major keynote papers will be given by the leading historian of contemporary Italy, Paul Ginsborg (who also spoke in the 1994 conference) and one of the leading Italian economists, Tito Boeri. Everyone is welcome to attend - you can register at this site or on the day. http://asmi.org.uk/conferences/view/asmi-conference-2014 PAUL GINSBORG WILL BE SPEAKING AT 11AM ON FRIDAY 21 NOVEMBER, TITO BOERI AT 2:30PM ON THE SAME DAY.

  • Let a Select Committee Investigate the Concerns About the Universities
    Dorling, D. (2019) USS Concerns- Letter, Oxford Magazine, Trinity Term, and in the Financial Times, under the title ‘Let a select committee investigate the concerns about the Universities Superannuation Scheme’, 3 June, 2019, https://www.ft.com/content/ccb837a6-82ca-11e9-b592- 5fe435b57a3b & https://www.ft.com/content/fdf66d42-83ab-11e9-b592-5fe435b57a3b TO THE EDITOR Sir – I would like to share with OM readers a letter colleagues and I sent to the Financial Times, signed by over 1,000 members of the profession (listed here http://www.dannydorling.org/?p=7283), and which should be of interest to all members of the University and particularly those with USS pensions. Yours sincerely Danny Dorling St Peter’s College Letter sent to the Financial Times Newspaper (London), Thursday May 30th 2019, published June 3rd 2019; and subsequently in the Oxford Magazine in June 2019. Letter sent to the Financial Times Newspaper (London), Thursday May 30th 2019 We believe there are issues of concern over the governance of the UK’s largest private pension, the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). The Trustees have a fiduciary duty to act in the interests of scheme members. A board member, with expertise in statistics, raised serious concerns about the quality of the evidence and analysis being presented to the board. How were these concerns addressed and investigated by the board of Trustees? Did the rest of the Trustees investigate these claims adequately and act in the interests of scheme members? If the Trustees or the USS executive are unable to act in the interests of scheme members, then they should resign.

  • Performing 1970S Italy with Narrative Theater by Juliet Fara Guzzetta a Dissertation Submitted in Partial
    Stages of History: Performing 1970s Italy with Narrative Theater by Juliet Fara Guzzetta A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Romance Languages and Literatures: Italian) in the University of Michigan 2013 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Giorgio Bertellini, Co-Chair Professor Vincenzo A. Binetti, Co-Chair Associate Professor Lawrence M. La Fountain-Stokes Professor Stacy Wolf, Princeton University © Juliet Fara Guzzetta 2013 Dedication This work is dedicated to Joshua Yumibe and Stella Antonia Guzzetta Yumibe ii Acknowledgements When I was 25 and beginning to think about graduate schools, I envisioned staying on the East Coast in part so that I could be in close proximity to my mom with whom I was very close. She was my confidante, oracle (a game we played) and protector, one of my favorite people to laugh with, make fun of other people with, and chat with (like a best friend). Given that before I was born she had lost a daughter who was four, and that my father died when I was four, my mom and I cultivated a particularly intense bond. In my vision of zipping back to the City at any time from school, sparkling along the coast in an Alfa Romeo Spider (that I have never owned, nor do I drive stick, nor do I enjoy driving), I had no premonition that by the time it came for me to take those GREs my mom would have died (cancer in six weeks). Besides the obvious enticements of joining the graduate school at the University of Michigan, some of the appeal for me had to do with the idea of nestling in the middle of the country, which seemed secure and comforting.
