DESCRIPTION:This conference honours the memory of Patrick McCarthy—Pembr
 oke alumnus\, Johns Hopkins SAIS Bologna professor\, and a penetrating sch
 olar of European politics\, culture\, and political economy. McCarthy's wo
 rk cut across disciplines and genres\, moving from literature to economics
  with a keen eye for liminal figures\, the politics of sexuality and langu
 age\, and the intersections of sport\, culture\, and power. \n\nThe contra
 dictions of Italian politics\, McCarthy demonstrated\, repeatedly foreshad
 owed Europe’s future. Today\, under Giorgia Meloni\, Italy again stands 
 at the centre of continental and transatlantic debates. By highlighting It
 aly in this bellwether role\, the conference seeks to carry Patrick McCart
 hy’s insights into the present\, asking what Italy’s trajectory reveal
 s about the future of European democracy and its place in the Atlantic ord
 er.\n\nFor more information\, or to join in-person or remotely\, please em
