Join Fraser Lauchlan on Thursday 21 March (6.30pm) at the Strathclyde Union, 51 Richmond Street, Level 8 (The Penthouse) for the launch of his most recent book "Still Being Scottish in Italy". This is the follow up to his first book "Being Scottish in Italy", the Italian version of which was shortlisted for the Franco Putzolo Literary Prize at the 2020 Strangius International Literary Festival.

The event will be of interest to those staff who teach Italian language and cultural studies, as the books discuss various aspects of Italian culture as well as the idiosyncrasies of the language.

The event is free to attend but given the limitations of space please advise in advance if you plan to go along, either by email (fraserlauchlan@live.com) or by text/whatsapp 0747 993 1694.

Mixing languages is a common practice among bilingual speakers. In this talk, Dr Florence Bonacina-Pugh will give examples of how creative bilingual speakers can be with their languages and discuss the potential of what scholars call “translanguaging” for teaching, learning and a life with more sparkle.

Visit the website to find out more about the speaker and to book your place at the free event.
