    No full text
    This paper regards the use of online technologies, in particular computer-mediated communication in a project aimed at the integration of Erasmus students in the host university community. It stems from a pilot project carried out at the University of Padova and adopts a case study approach. The project involved a multilingual online exchange and collaborative project between the Erasmus students and local students of modern languages and literature

    The long and winding road ...

    Full text link
    The long and winding road is a metaphor for a journey, often used to describe life journeys and the challenges encountered. The metaphor was used for the title of my keynote to refer both to the journey towards the current position of virtual exchange in education policy – but also the long road ahead. This paper aims to explore the emergence of virtual exchange in educational policy and how it has been adopted by non-profit organisations, educational institutions, and policy makers to address geo- and socio-political tensions. Though still a relatively new field, in recent years there have been some important developments in terms of policy statements and public investments in virtual exchange. The paper starts by looking at the current state-of-the-art in terms of virtual exchange in education policy and initiatives in Europe. Then, using an approach based on ‘episode studies’ from the policy literature, the paper explores the main virtual exchange schemes and initiatives that have drawn the attention of European policy makers. The paper closes by looking at some of the lessons we have learnt from research on the practice of virtual exchange, and how this can inform us as we face the long road ahead of us. The focus of this paper is on the European context not because I assume it to be the most important or influential, but rather because it is the one I know best, since it is the context in which I have been workin

    Identifying and interrogating coloniality in English-medium instruction

    No full text
    This paper discusses a pedagogical activity co-taught by professors from Brazil and Italy to raise critical awareness of English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) in non-Anglophone universities. Drawing on an international focus group, the authors created vignettes which were later shared with students in an English-taught master's program in Italy to discuss and create their own. The analysis of the activity revealed tensions and ideological complexities in EMI permeating notions of native speakerism, knowledge hierarchies, and linguistic inequalities. The authors advocate for greater critical awareness of coloniality in EMI and redefining language proficiency based on local needs.Este artigo descreve uma reflex & atilde;o acad & ecirc;mica colaborativa e o desenvolvimento de uma atividade pedag & oacute;gica que utilizou vinhetas para promover a consci & ecirc;ncia cr & iacute;tica sobre o ingl & ecirc;s como meio de instru & ccedil;& atilde;o (EMI) em institui & ccedil;& otilde;es de ensino superior n & atilde;o angl & oacute;fonas. As autoras exploraram ideologias lingu & iacute;sticas e pol & iacute;ticas de internacionaliza & ccedil;& atilde;o no Brasil e na It & aacute;lia para investigar como o EMI pode refor & ccedil;ar a colonialidade. Um grupo focal online formado por estudantes e pesquisadores internacionais identificou tens & otilde;es e contradi & ccedil;& otilde;es em torno do EMI, o que orientou a cria & ccedil;& atilde;o de vinhetas desenvolvidas pelas autoras. Essas vinhetas foram ent & atilde;o compartilhadas com estudantes de um programa de mestrado ministrado em ingl & ecirc;s na It & aacute;lia, que criaram suas pr & oacute;prias vinhetas. As vinhetas dos estudantes revelaram quest & otilde;es como o nativismo lingu & iacute;stico, hierarquias de saberes, desigualdades lingu & iacute;sticas e o impacto emocional do EMI. A abordagem pedag & oacute;gica visava valorizar os conhecimentos locais dos estudantes e fomentar a solidariedade entre pares. As autoras defendem a necessidade de aumentar a consci & ecirc;ncia cr & iacute;tica sobre a colonialidade entre os envolvidos com o EMI e de reconceituar a profici & ecirc;ncia lingu & iacute;stica com base nas necessidades locais

    Converse theorems and the local Langlands correspondence in families

    Full text link
    We prove a descent criterion for certain families of smooth representations of GLn(F) (F a p-adic field) in terms of the γ-factors of pairs constructed in Moss (Int Math Res Not 2016(16):4903–4936, 2016). We then use this descent criterion, together with a theory of γ-factors for families of representations of the Weil group WF (Helm and Moss in Deligne–Langlands gamma factors in families, arXiv:1510.08743v3, 2015), to prove a series of conjectures, due to the first author, that give a complete description of the center of the category of smooth W(k)[GLn(F)]-modules (the so-called “integral Bernstein center”) in terms of Galois theory and the local Langlands correspondence. An immediate consequence is the conjectural “local Langlands correspondence in families” of Emerton and Helm (Ann Sci Éc Norm Supér (4) 47(4):655–722, 2014)

    Rethinking the transition process in Syria: constitution, participation and gender equality

    Full text link
    A just and sustainable peace for Syria can only be attained through the equal participation of women’s rights defenders at the negotiation table and throughout the transitional process. Understanding the legal framework within which such participation takes place – and the challenges of promoting women’s rights through a gender-responsive constitution – is crucial. This publication, resulting from a collaboration between Euromed Feminist Initiative and the University of Padova, builds on the knowledge of academics and advocates, shedding new insights on those challenges. It aims at supporting institutional efforts being made to guarantee women’s participation in the Syrian reconstruction, as well as advocacy initiatives carried out to ensure women’s participation in political and economic decision-making in the country’s future
