About Lucia Guercio

I am a passionate and enterprising individual about to start her Honours career in Art History at the University of St. Andrews. My main interests are art, literature and public affairs, which I am trying to pursue both at university and in my research "Artistic translations of Dante's Inferno". I am deeply committed to connect my own Italian educational background with the experiences I am making abroad, as it emerges also from my research topic: I advocate for a better understanding of my culture but also a wider integration in a globalised academic environment. I am always looking for opportunities in the art world, with focus on the art market and investment sector, and I am also open to any kind of entrepreneurial programme for young women, since I see my faculty of choice as just a starting point for my future career, rather than a closed sector.

From my forest dark to rebeholding the stars: a self-discovery journey in the Laidlaw Programme

An unfiltered reflection on what my Laidlaw journey has meant to me so far. I comment on my own fears, expectations and challenges. My thoughts are an incitement to react against disheartening, being resilient and take every opportunity.
