    Campaign for the Reconstruction of English Studies
    at L'Aquila, Italy

    The Board of AIA (Associazione Italiana di Anglistica) would like  to disseminate information on the fate of English Studies at the University of L’Aquila, which was practically destroyed by the recent earthquake, and to promote concrete action in support of  research and teaching activities there.

    In brief, the current situation is as follows: the library, located in the historic Palazzo Camponeschi, is now completely buried under its ruins; the entire equipment of the Language Centre has been destroyed and the Centre has suffered such heavy damage that physical access is a risk; the interlibrary loan service and other services are located in a portakabin; lectures, seminars, examinations and other teaching activities are being held in tents.
