writing in between

Under the coordination of Writer in Residence, Dr. Emanuele Pettener, Writing in Between is the creative expression of the Department of Languages Linguistics and Comparative Literature. It is a place to highlight the different cultures taught in this Department and the artistic works by our students. It reminds of the importance of learning other languages, being open to other cultures, and capturing the magic of writing. 

Writing in Between includes activities, works and multicultural writings by translators and writers whose artistic essence is made by two or more cultural identities.
