Va’ Pensiero – Walking stories is an interwoven account of two racist attacks in Milan and Florence and the victims’ painful attempts to piece the fragments of their lives back together. This powerful account brings together the overlapping stories of the three protagonists’ ordeal and their enduring hope of building a life in Italy, despite the fear and uncertainty of suddenly being plunged back to the moment of the attacks by one look or gesture.

The Race Ethnicity and Post-Colonial Studies (REPS) PhD Network provides a space for PhD students to collaborate across the research areas of race, ethnicity and postcolonial studies, and is a platform for developing and nurturing new thinking in these areas. The REPS PhD Network is based at the Sociology Department at the London School of Economics and is run by PhD students in the Department. The Network also seeks to actively engage with other researchers, research departments and universities in order to develop a supportive REPS research community. Annually, the LSE REPS PhD Network puts on a department sponsored REPS Seminar Series which include invited guest lectures, film screenings and student discussion groups.
