Lorenzo Alunni

After the death of several dozens of refugees, most of them fleeing Afghanistan, in a shipwreck off the coasts of Calabria, in the South of Italy, on the 26th of February 2023, Lorenzo Alunni, current Member in the School of Social Science, and Didier Fassin, James D. Wolfensohn Professor, wrote a column for Le Monde, analyzing how Europe had shifted from a politics of rescue to a criminalization of humanitarianism.

Lorenzo Alunni, Wolfensohn Family Member in the School of Social Science (2022–23), and illustrator Elisa Nocentini, describe how their time at the Institute for Advanced Study inspired them to write a children’s book titled “An Ordinary Night at the Institute.”
