Lucia Binotti is the founder of Amirabilia, the world first platform for experiential education. She is Professor of Spanish and Digital Humanities in the Department of Romance Studies at UNC-CH. She also drives two Honors summer programs abroad, Immersive Renaissance in Rome, and Sports Medicine and Future-Smart Culture in Barcelona. Lucia is a Philologist (believe me, this is important) turned into Experimental Humanist. From her foundational work on material and cultural history and on the mechanisms that construct linguistic and cultural identity, Binotti is imagining the new paradigms of immersive learning -- Place, Presence and Perspective – for the Cyber-Humanities. Her latest research, on immersive curricula in the language and culture “classroom” and on ally education of LatinX survivors of domestic abuse, contributes to the ongoing reflection on the crucial role that collaborative methodologies and emerging technologies have on the design of smart educational ecosystems that enhance the dissemination and fruition of social and cultural knowledge among non-academic communities of practice.
