“The Luiss Global Fellowship represents a unique opportunity for students and the university community to interact with true global exemplars, benefiting from their experience and knowledge and contributing to high-quality academic education and the enrichment of future perspectives.”
\nThe motivations behind the recognition are related to the ideas and projects of the four Fellows: Massimo Ciociola has revolutionized the global landscape of music sharing by creating the largest digital library of song lyrics; Alberto Dalmasso has transformed the daily lives of millions of people by creating an independent European digital payment network that is separate from debit and credit cards; Ibrahim al-Koni, an international writer, has brought contemporary Arab literature to a global audience, sharing culture and narratives from desert communities; Jhumpa Lahiri has adopted Italian, which was not her mother tongue, creating stories that address the themes of immigration and cultural transformations, describing the process of hybridization of traditional models from countries of origin with the realities of new host contexts.<\/p>\n
