The Association for the Study of Modern Italy (ASMI) was founded in 1982
by Christopher Seton-Watson, to bring together individuals and
organisations from the UK and abroad with teaching, research, professional
or general interests in modern Italy from all disciplinary angles.
Today, ASMI’s membership is international and includes scholars and others
from a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds including history, political
science, languages, geography, literature and anthropology.
At ASMI’s 2024 Annual General Meeting, held at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (University of London) on 29th November, Professor John Foot was unanimously elected as the new Chair of the Association, in succession to Professor Phil Cooke who was standing down. Many thanks to Phil for his exceptional leadership over the last six years, and a warm welcome to John in his new role!
ASMI hosts yearly conferences and supports various events both in the UK and internationally.
