SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven – Episode Three – The Subject of Violence (Paradiso 3–5 & 14–18)
DESCRIPTION:Dante’s Paradiso is the least studied and the least understood of the three parts of the Commedia. Yet it is arguably the most important for the dynamism and originality of the literary\, theological\, and philosophical inquiries that take place there. It is also a singularly important interpretive guide for a full understanding of the entire Commedia. It is a poem that asks to be tackled by a community of engaged readers: here it’s your opportunity! This year-long series of webinar workshops led by world-renowned scholars will take you on a deep reading of the Paradiso and an unforgettable journey to the heart of Dante’s universe. This virtual series will reward both first-time and expert readers of the Commedia with an opportunity to delve deep into one of the most complex and daring speculative poems ever written. We’ll be meeting online almost every other week from October to May. See the Project Paradiso page for full schedule. \n \nBrenda Deen Schildgen is Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature\, emerita at UC Davis. Among her books are the most recent\, Dante and Violence: Domestic\, Civic\, Cosmic (2021); Divine Providence\, A History: Bible\, Virgil\, Orosius\, Augustine\, and Dante (2012); Other Renaissances: A New Approach to World Literature (2006); Heritage or Heresy: Destruction and Preservation of Art and Architecture in Europe (2008); Dante and the Orient (2002)\, translated into Italian (2016) and Arabic (2009).

SUMMARY:PhD+ Series – Burnout: Recognizing\, Preventing\, Mitigating with Audrey Kim\, Ph.D.\, and Nicolette Severson\, LCSW
DESCRIPTION:Burnout is a state of exhaustion that can impact our work\, personal lives\, health and overall sense of well being and purpose. Join us to discuss common causes and symptoms\, and learn strategies to recognize\, prevent\, and manage burnout. \nPrior to joining UCSC CAPS in 2001\, Audrey Kim\, Ph.D.\, worked in the corporate and nonprofit sectors and understands how burnout can be different and yet similar across various settings. Kim likes helping students gain insight into their problems and learn practical strategies for overcoming them. She especially enjoys working with graduate students and facilitating the Graduate Women’s Group at UCSC. \n  \n  \nNicolette “Niki” Severson\, LCSW\, has been on the team at CAPS since January 2021. She came to her work as a therapist by way of a background in academia\, education\, and research in public health and social work. Previous to UCSC\, Severson worked with underserved populations in community mental health. She has firsthand experience with burnout from a variety of demanding work environments and is excited to talk about this critical topic. \n. \n \n  \nThis workshop is presented by the Division of Graduate Studies and co-sponsored by The Humanities Institute as part of our 2023-2024 PhD+ series. The Division of Graduate Studies’ workshops are for current UC Santa Cruz graduate students and postdoctoral scholars and require an active UC Santa Cruz email address. \nAbout the PhD+ Workshop Series \nJoin us for the eighth year of PhD+ Workshops\, hosted (or co-sponsored) by The Humanities Institute. Our meetings provide the opportunity to discuss possible career paths for PhDs\, internship possibilities\, grant/fellowships\, work/life balance\, elements of style\, online identity issues\, and much\, much more.

Using the work of linguist and cognitive scientist\, Dr. Noam Chomsky\, as a framework\, Gray will walk us through his analysis of AI and human intelligence in his upcoming paper. \nIn addition\, we will use half of our December meeting for people to present work they are doing in a bit more detail through a series of 2 minute lightning talks. If you are interested in sharing your ideas/work in progress briefly\, please fill out a slide in this presentation before Friday\, December 8th. \nAs the principal investigator\, Professor Minghui Hu\, will be abroad for a conference in Taiwan and China\, this meeting will be hosted by Professor Pranav Anand from the Linguistics Department and faculty Director for the Humanities Institute. In the meantime\, to be notified of upcoming speakers and presentations\, you can subscribe to the Google Calendar embedded in the events tab on our website (please hit the plus sign in the bottom right corner of the calendar screen to do so). \nWe encourage you to bring your own lunch to this meeting as this is an uncatered event.

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven – Episode Five – The Sun (Paradiso 10–13) and The Body of Knowledge (Paradiso 14)
DESCRIPTION:Dante’s Paradiso is the least studied and the least understood of the three parts of the Commedia. Yet it is arguably the most important for the dynamism and originality of the literary\, theological\, and philosophical inquiries that take place there. It is also a singularly important interpretive guide for a full understanding of the entire Commedia.

We’ll be meeting online almost every other week from October to May. See the Project Paradiso page for full schedule. \n \nFilippo Gianferrari is originally from Modena\, Italy. He has received a BA and MA in Letteratura italiana from the Università degli Studi di Bologna\, and a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from the University of Notre Dame. After completing his Ph.D.\, he taught at Vassar College and Smith College. He has been part of the Literature Department at UCSC since 2019. He works on Dante\, Petrarch\, and Boccaccio\, lay education\, and political theology in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. He is interested in the ways literature and education (particularly literacy) intersect with and inform each other. He has published mostly on the topic of Dante’s intellectual formation and he has completed a monograph titled “Dante’s Education: Latin Schoolbooks and Vernacular Poetics.” The book investigates Dante’s debts to his earliest school readings and his critical stance toward contemporary education. His attention is now devoted to the study of vernacular theories and visions of political charity and eschatology.\n \nRon Herzman is Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the State University of New York\, Geneseo. In addition to Geneseo\, where he continues to teach Dante\, he has taught Dante at Georgetown University\, St. John’s College in Santa Fe\, New York University\, Regis High School\, and Attica Correctional Facility.

He has written over fifty articles and reviews on Dante\, with emphasis on Dante and the Franciscans\, and on Dante and the visual arts. The Medieval World View (Oxford University Press\, with Bill Cook)\, now in its third edition\, has been in print since 1984. With Richard Emmerson\, he is the author of The Apocalyptic Tradition in Medieval Literature (University of Pennsylvania Press\, 1994)
