Special ceremony for the inauguration of the PhD academic year.
This morning the Aula Magna of the University of Sassari also hosted the famous British historian and writer Donald Sassoon, professor emeritus of Comparative European History at Queen Mary University of London, award-winning for his work and for his works translated into twelve languages .
Sassoon divided his studies and research between Paris, Milan, London and the United States. In a perfect and cultured Italian, learned in his eight years of stay, he gave a lectio magistralis entitled "Does culture unite us?" who starting from the analysis of the world of European culture in the 19th century explained what were the economic and social factors that led to the export of American culture in the 1900s, born not to satisfy the elite but an immense and varied population in its composition.
At the end of the lectio magistralis, the rector Gavino Mariotti and the course coordinators handed over the parchments to the 31 PhDs of the 32nd, 33rd and 34th cycle.
