Italian is one of the most diasporic languages in the world. How would students understand global phenomena of cultural mobility and migration if Higher Education gives up the study of languages? We probably need to rethink the teaching of European languages and cultures, though: this is the second petition for the preservation of an Italian Department that I sign in two weeks. What would make the study of languages something meaningful, rather than in need to be preserved? http://www.transnationalmodernlanguages.ac.uk
