]]>“Made in Italy” is a globally recognized label, indicating a distinctive form of elegance, quality, and savoir faire. Why is this form of branding so successful? What uniquely Italian traits define it?
In this presentation, Dr. Cottini explores the complex meanings of this expression and its hidden aesthetics through the exploration of several iconic Italian-made objects from the 1920s to the present.
Luca Cottini (Ph.D. Harvard University) is Associate Professor of Italian Studies at Villanova University, host & creator of the YouTube show Italian Innovators, speaker, and author of a cultural history of the origins of Italian design (The Art of Objects. The Birth of Italian Industrial Culture, 1878-1928; 2018) and a biography of chocolate entrepreneur Michele Ferrero (Il fabbricante di cioccolato, 2023).
Refreshments will be provided after the lecture.

Speaker: Dr. Jessica Vitak, University of Maryland
When: Tuesday, March 26, 2024
Time: 12-1 p.m.
Location: Partnership III, Room 233
Abstract: Science fiction has long captured our imaginations, whether through George Orwell’s dystopian world of constant surveillance or the incredible technologies featured on Star Trek. In fact, we are increasingly living in the future predicted in these media, filled with surveillance cameras, smart devices and more. What does the increased tracking of our every step, click, and purchase mean for our privacy, autonomy, and freedom? In this talk, Dr. Vitak will share high-level findings from the last eight years studying people’s attitudes toward surveillance at home, school and work, highlighting the tensions consumers face when balancing utility and convenience against increasingly intrusive forms of data collection. Then she’ll provide some thoughts on a path forward and argue for using both design and policy to increase the amount of friction underlying our every digital move.
Speaker Bio: Jessica Vitak is an associate professor in the College of Information Studies and director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland. Her research evaluates the privacy and ethical implications of new technologies that collect data in our homes, schools and workplaces. She seeks to understand how privacy concerns play a role in technology adoption and use, and she develops tools and resources to help children and adults make more informed decisions when using technology and sharing sensitive data.
