It has been an absolute pleasure to spend the past week at Lanzhou University in China, engaging in enriching discussions with colleagues and the brilliant Master’s and PhD students. Our conversations revolved around pressing topics such as digital inequalities in the Global South, Digital Capital, and the digital divide. The week was intense, filled with full-class teaching and numerous meetings, but the effort was entirely worthwhile. The high level of interaction and enthusiasm displayed by the students left us invigorated. Moreover, Maria Laura Ruiu and I are thrilled about the prospects of initiating new collaborative research projects with our esteemed colleagues.
Lanzhou University provided a professional and friendly environment that greatly facilitated our discussions and interactions. We are genuinely excited about the possibility of future collaborations and partnerships with this institution. This visit has left us with a deep appreciation for the talent and dedication of Lanzhou University’s academic community, and we look forward to forging lasting connections and making meaningful contributions together.
Thank you, Lanzhou University, for a fantastic week. We eagerly anticipate the opportunities that lie ahead as we continue to work together to address critical issues in the realm of digital inequalities.
