University of Graz: Department of English and Center for Inter-American Studies

For more than 400 years, the University of Graz has been a major influence on the character and life of the capital of the province of Styria attracting a large number of students. Founded in 1585 as one of the oldest universities in Central Europe, its long academic tradition encompasses a wide range of disciplines. The University of Graz is a public higher education institution with a strong international profile. Close ties with almost 500 universities world-wide form the basis for the mobility of students, faculty, and staff.
The Department of English Studies offers study programmes at the BA, MA and doctoral level, including a teaching degree. It focuses on teaching and researching the literature, culture and language of Anglophone cultures. In the field of literary studies theory of narration, theory of drama, intermediality and postcolonial literatures are prominent research areas. The linguistics section has a strong orientation on pragmatics and discourse in the socio-cultural context next to a strand dealing with first and second language acquisition and a new research focus on phonology. The topics of language and ecology, intercultural communication and critical studies of ideologies and representations (e.g. health discourses) are among the focus areas in the field of discourse studies which employs various methods of text and discourse analysis.
As “the Americas,” are one of the two strategic global focus regions of the University of Graz, the Center for Inter-American Studies (C.IAS) was established by the Rectorate of the University of Graz as a platform for interdisciplinary and inter-regional communication and collaboration in the Americas in 2006 and was officially founded in 2007. By building intra-regional cooperation in international education based on teaching and research, C.IAS creates and pursues new possibilities of collaboration and mobility as well as a wide variety of research projects in the fields of area studies, transnationalism and transregionalism, individual and collective identities, as well as intersectionality and Aging Studies. Focusing on these areas of research, C.IAS aims at re-conceptualizing traditional approaches not only in terms of transnational and transregional perspectives, but also in terms of Euro-American relations.

Istituto Magistrale Statale "Regina Margherita"

Regina Margherita is a secondary school founded in 1876. It is one of the largest schools in Italy for number. There are more than 2000 students. Up until a few decades ago its aim was to train future primary school teachers and it was the oldest and most prestigious in Palermo. Today, after the 2010 state school reform, it has undergone a series of innovations and includes five different lyceums: Human Science, Social Economical, Linguistic, Musical and Dance.
As it is in the heart of the city centre, it is easily reached by students from the entire city, but in particular, because of its reputation, many of our students come from the surrounding towns. In more recent years, the neighborhood in which we operate, a very old and disadvantaged area, has grown in the number of families from north African, Asian and the Mid-eastern countries, thus giving us the opportunity to become multicultural centre. Our school has also specialized in teaching the disabled with integrated curricula and teaching methodology. We proudly host about 60 disabled pupils.
Our particular concern is the cultural growth of our pupils who in many cases, do not have the same opportunities, therefore we offer, alongside the regular curriculum, a great deal of projects which help our students widen their knowledge and open their minds to the diverse.
