Teaching Languages Through Intercomprehension: A Conversation with Clorinda Donato
Pedagogy in Practice series
Who are the students populating language classrooms today and why are they studying
languages? Who are we as language instructors and what should we be teaching them?
The answers to these questions are very different from the answers we might have given
only twenty years ago. Answering these questions today means reflecting on the why,
how, where, who and what of language pedagogy and communication in the twenty-first
century. By focusing on the pedagogies of intercomprehension, (including translanguaging,
multilingualism and plurilingualism), this conversation will invite us to think together
about the students we are serving in language classroom settings and why we need to
rethink what we are doing as language educators to best prepare them for a future
in languages.
Open to SBU students and faculty only. RSVP Required.
E-4340 Melville Library, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794-3358.

Richard Gambino’s Legacy and the Future of Italian American Studies
Discover how Italian American Studies illuminates the Italian American experience
and the diverse mosaic of American society. Dr. Richard Gambino (1939-2024) established the first academic program dedicated to
Italian American Studies at Queens College in 1973. He further helped institute a
similar program at Stony Brook University, and later served as Visiting Professor
in the 1990s. Gambino co-founded the influential journal Italian Americana, and published nonfiction books, including Blood of My Blood and Vendetta, which documented the experiences of multiple generations of Italian Americans and
reached broad audiences.
Featuring contributions from Peter Carravetta (SBU), Mary Jo Bona (SBU), Fred Gardaphé (Queens College), Anthony Julian Tamburri (Calandra Institute), Gail Gambino, and Josephine Fusco.
Open to the public. SBU students are especially welcome.

Book Presentation: Peter Carravetta (Philosophy), "Whither the Human in Humanism?"
After examination of and responses to the challenges of anti-, trans-, and post-humanism,
Peter Carravetta looks at key ideas from the tradition that may still be adapted to redefine and energize
the humanities. These include free will and intersubjectivity, as well consciousness
of sociopolitical co-existence and commitment, the relation between myth and history,
and rhetoric and logic, as manifested through works by Dante, Pico, Machiavelli, Campanella,
Vico.
This event has been organized by the Humanities Institute at Stony Brook and is co-sponsored by the Center for Italian Studies. Please note that this event will take place in Humanities 1008.
Open to the public. SBU community encouraged to attend.
