I am convinced that in the humanities some very useful and general principles can be accurately learned even from exposure to few and limited facts, if the teacher is able to extrapolate from them experiences, beliefs and attitudes familiar to all. I try to apply the same “method” in my own teaching, I try to focus on issues I think are relevant for my students, and make them feel comfortable about expressing their opinions. They did not “teach” as much as tried to make you see for yourself the complexity under the simple surface, and the best way to account for it. They thought the issues they investigated were relevant and fascinating, and always questioned whether we had the right intellectual tools to tackle them. I learned most of what I know from teachers whose jobs were their passions. Triantafillis (eds), Atti della Giornata sui Preverbi, Quaderni Patavini di Linguistica, 26.

When students, months or years after they’ve come to Florence, reach back to ask for advice or a recommendation, acknowledging that the courses they took at ISI really helped shape their future and career. University courses are not about acquiring as much information as possible through endless lectures, but more about opportunities to discuss, debate and engage with a topic, with the assistance of an instructor who is not a “sage on the stage” but a moderator, that helps students understand why things matter. I like to think of my classes as a space where students are not present to absorb information but to discuss ideas. In business especially, so much of your expertise and capabilities rely on understanding the context, the culture, and the uniqueness of each country and heritage. They are able to see the world with fresh eyes, challenge many long-held beliefs, and realize that there is no “one way” of doing things. ![]() Studying abroad gives students superpowers.
