Maria Mazziotti Gillan is to be honored during the 57th Annual Italian American Studies Association (IASA) Conference at Montclair State University held November 6-9, 2025.
Intersecting Transitalia in Communities: Nation(s), Transnation(s), Neighborhood(s) is the theme of this year’s conference. Community in the Italian diaspora, historically and in the present day will be explored in programs and panels addressing how, historically, Italians have worked in building their local communities and how they have attempted (successfully or not) to bridge (linguistic, cultural, etc.) gaps across communities throughout the country or even the world.
