Between 2013 and 2018, approximately 700,000 individuals have crossed the Mediterranean to seek asylum in Italy. The LINCS project (Language Integration and New Communities in a multicultural Society) explores the role of language and translation in their lives, as they forge links with the Italian society and make sense of the new environment.

Andrea Ciribuco is Postdoctoral Fellow in Italian at NUI Galway, funded by the IRC and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. His research focuses on language and cultural identity in migratory contexts. He is the author of The Autobiography of a Language: Emanuel Carnevali’s Italian/American Writing (2019).

Anne O’Connor is Senior Lecturer in Italian in NUI Galway. Her research interests include translation and migration, translation history, and religion and translation.
