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.
