The Emotions of Internationalism – a conversation with Ilaria Scaglia

Dr. Ilaria Scaglia takes us on an Alpine journey to explore the emotions that internationalists around the League of Nations sought to encourage and share. Along the way we hear mention of Heidi, the Pope, Einstein and Marie Curie, alpinists and climbers, as well as renowned doctors practicing in the Alps. Through this study of the history of emotions, we come to understand better the vision of international cooperation in the interwar period.
