italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear colleagues on the italian-Studies List,
The School of Languages, Literatures & Cultural Studies at Trinity
College Dublin recently launched taught MPhil degrees in Comparative
Literature and Literary Translation. The response has been extremely
good -- we've had students from 12 countries so far -- and we are now
proceeding to establish a permanent lectureship linked to these
courses. Some details of the job can be found by clicking the
following link ...

Meanwhile, here are some sentences from the downloadable PDF file:
"The appointee will teach and co-ordinate core modules in the
M.Phil. Degrees in Comparative Literature and Literary Translation,
and may be asked to contribute programmes in Cultural Theory to other
masters' programmes in the School or to support undergraduate
programmes in Comparative Literature. Demonstrable teaching and
research expertise in one or more of these areas is therefore
required. Preference may be given to a candidate with a background in
one or more of the following: French, Germanic Studies, Hispanic
Studies, Italian; and the successful candidate may be required to
contribute to the work of the relevant disciplines..."
The mention of Italian prompted me to post this message, though
there's no guarantee that the person appointed will be an
Italianist. Closing date is Tuesday March 11th at 12 noon.
Some colleagues might also be interested to know that we are hosting
an Open Evening for various postgraduate courses on Thursday, 6th
March, 5.30 - 7.15 pm, in room 3074, Arts Building, Trinity
College. Courses in the Languages area will be represented. For
further details of the Open Evening, please click on ...

If you have students who might consider pursuing a taught
postgraduate course in Dublin, this could be interesting. Everyone is
very welcome. In fact, if your students were visiting Dublin that
week, they might as well come over two days early and visit the
Research Opportunities Open Day on Tuesday March 4th: please click on

useful Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) resource page:

I should have read it years ago.
Best wishes to all,
