Paola Giorgis teaches English Language, Literature and Visual arts in Italian high schools and holds a PhD in Anthropology of Education and Intercultural Education. Her main interest regards a critical, intercultural and interdisciplinary approach to foreign languages and Foreign Language Education able to develop an awareness on words and languages in the direction of transformation and change. Within such a framework, she integrates theoretical references, practices and research to show how languages inform individual and collective identities and representation, and how they can both serve processes of manipulation and domination, as well as those of empowerment and emancipation.
She investigates cross-linguistic interactions from the perspective of Linguistic Anthropology and Critical Linguistics and Pedagogy, observing L2 as a territory able to reframe individual and collective identity/ties, since it questions, challenges and problematizes meanings, assumptions and representations ordinarily taken-for-granted. She also reads critically both sides of L2 acquisition, top-down instructions and bottom-up practices.
She has published two monographs, several articles, chapters in collective works and she has  participated to many international conferences. She is co-founder and member of wom.an.ed, and is affiliated to several international associations of Linguistics and Intercultural Studies.

Elisa Sartore ha recentemente conseguito il titolo di dottore di ricerca in Antropologia dell'Educazione discutendo una tesi sulla valenza pedagogica interculturale di comporre una storia e critica degli approcci alla diversità culturale. La formazione eterogenea (tra Pedagogia, Riabilitazione Sociale e Antropologia), l’attività professionale svolta in contesti diversi (Università, Scuole, Comunità Terapeutiche) e gli interessi personali (Teatro, Fotografia e Documentario Sociale) la spingono alla costante ricerca di una via per raccontare realtà e protagonisti tradizionalmente considerati “minori”.
