International Students and the Cosmopolitan Self

The lecture International Students and the Cosmopolitan Self inaugurates the series "Discussions in the Human Sciences" at Gonzaga University in Florence. 

The analysis of autoethnographical essays written by a group of Master’s degree students in Finland (Helsinki, North Europe) and Italy (Florence, South Europe) makes it possible to reconstruct their narrative identity at home, during their period abroad, and in in their attempt to imagine a global "elsewhere." 
The overall purpose of this study is to sketch the Cosmopolitan Self of international students.
