Kudos to Angel Antonio De Oliveira Amata, Gaia Zaccaro, our own Ilaria Giordano ;-) from #unito, Francesca Iliano and Nicola Pelizzari for winning the very first edition of the #aiapresentationprize #aiapresentationprize2025 #aia32

Time for Radhika Jha's plenary lecture, "Deep Fake: Who Are We Becoming?"—a slick and thought-provoking talk on how digital technologies are impacting our lives. #AIA32
Thank you #AIA32 for the multitude of panels and plenaries, the opportunity for me to address the association’s Assembly as ESSE President, the convivial atmosphere, and all of this in Turin, a city that exudes historic splendour. @aia32.bsky.social @aianglistica.bsky.social @essenglish.bsky.social
So happy to spend these wonderful days with colleagues and friends at the AIA Conference in Turin. #AIA32 @aia32.bsky.social
#aia32 Day 2 starts with Caroline Tagg telling us all about " #Postdigital intimacies in the #Anglosphere: Implications for human connection and English language practices". We may or may not be allowed to check our mobiles during her plenary lecture!
"When we 'were' posthuman. Scanning our lost future?", Rossella Ciocca's plenary, is keeping #aia32 participants on the edge of their seats, both with her words and her visuals!
. @carolosullivan.bsky.social 's plenary, "Researching Audiences for Subtitled Media in the UK," encourages #aia32 participants to reflect on the different audience attitudes and behaviours toward subtitling. The room is packed, and we are all captivated by this insightful and entertaining talk.
Deeply moved by the reading of this poem by Refaat Alareer at the opening of #AIA32.
The poem "If I Must Die" by Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer is read as a moment of collective silent reflection on the killing of Palestinians. #aia32 #stayhuman

In his kickoff speech, G. Balirano, head of #AIA, reminds us of the importance of staying human and devoting our initial thoughts to the situation in #Gaza #stayhuman #FreePalestine #aia32
