Studying Italian Culture in The United States and in Italy

We have two speakers in the Speaker’s Corner this month. First, Dr. Gilda Baldassari writes about the successful attempts to introduce Italian culture into the curriculum of the New Jersey public schools. Secondly, Dr. Dawn Hayes describes a study-abroad program in Sicily for students at Montclair State University in New Jersey. Italian Americans are the largest ethnic group in New Jersey, and both speakers focus in particular on the importance of providing students opportunities to connect with the culture of their Italian ancestors.
