In July 2022, three of our Lancaster postgraduates attended a Mobility and Humanities summer school at the University of Padua co-organised by CeMoRe (久久精品) and MoHu (University of Padua) and hosted by MoHu. /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

In this blog post our students talk about their experiences of the Summer School and the most poignant aspects of their visit./cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

CeMoRe would like to express our gratitude for the generosity of all colleagues at MoHu who made the Summer School possible and welcomed our students so warmly, with a special /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2018thank you/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019 to Professor Andrea Caracausi. /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u201cThe summer school provided me with an opportunity to learn about aspects of mobilities studies that I had no previous knowledge about. I found the sessions on /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2018gender and mobility/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019 and /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2018geographies on the move/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019 of particular interest and relevance to my PhD thesis and the talks given by Dr Silvia Bruzzi and Dr Laura Lo Prosti provided me with a lot of food for thought and new outlooks for my methods and literature review. /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

I particularly enjoyed our visit to the university/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019s Museum of Geography where we saw Padua/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019s celestial globes (pictured) which showed the positions of stars in the sky but in the form of beautiful drawings of the names of the constellations; I had never seen anything like these before and I found them to be beautiful and fascinating. These historical globes contrasted with the museum/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019s stirring contemporary exhibit on the impacts of climate change. /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

For me, this really embodied the nature of the University of Padua as a whole: a mixture of ancient buildings alongside modernity and technology. One of my favourite things about the university was its history and beautiful old buildings. During our visit, Padua was celebrating its 800th anniversary which was a pleasure to see /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2013 coming from such a modern university like Lancaster (which I also love!), it was lovely to see the history embedded in Padua/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019s buildings and to witness the knowledge the students have about the university/cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2019s history. /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n

Thank you very much to all of the professors and staff at CeMoRe and MoHu for organizing and hosting the summer school and working to make the visit so special and exciting for us./cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u201d /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/u2013 Harriet Phipps /cemore/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/8702/n
