In this episode, we sit down with Luke Gianlanella, a junior at BU studying International Relations and Political Science. A writer in the Europe section of the IRR, he discusses his recent journal article entitled “Soft Power ‘Al Dente’: Giorgia Meloni’s Gastronationalism and its Implications for Multilateralism.” Plus, he gives his insight on joining IR-related student organizations as a freshman, experiences interning in Senate and Congressional offices, and plans to study abroad!
