SUMMARY:Humanities in the Age of AI Lunch meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Humanities Institute Research cluster\, “Humanities in the Age of AI\,” is pleased to invite you to their third lunch meeting scheduled for December 11th (Monday) at noon in HUM 210. The research cluster boasts a diverse group of core participants. This includes six esteemed faculty members from various disciplines\, graduate students representing politics\, history\, literature\, philosophy\, feminist studies\, and film and visual studies\, and undergraduate scholars from computer science\, computational media\, and creative writing. \nWe are elated to announce that Philosophy Ph.D candidate\, Dustin Gray\, will be speaking on AI consciousness at our next meeting on December 11th. 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. Until then\, please continue to check our website for more updates on the cluster’s upcoming projects and presenters. \nFor those who prefer to schedule in advance\, please note the dates for our brown bag meetings throughout the academic year: 10/2 (lunch provided)\, 11/6\, 12/11\, 1/8 (lunch provided)\, 2/12 (featuring Davide Panagia)\, 3/4\, 4/8 (lunch provided)\, and 5/6. THI will graciously cater on the three specified dates. For the remaining meetings\, attendees are cordially invited to bring their lunch. We are honored to have Professor Davide Panagia from UCLA present on 2/12; arrangements are underway to secure another external speaker for a subsequent session. \n

SUMMARY:Project Paradiso: A Gateway to Dante’s Heaven – Episode Four – Beatrice’s Authority
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 \nElena Lombardi is Professor of Italian Literature at Oxford\, and the Paget Toynbee Fellow and Tutor in Medieval Studies at Balliol College. She is the author of five books: The Syntax of Desire. Language and Love in Augustine\, the Modistae\, Dante (Toronto UP\, 2007)\, The Wings of the Doves. Love and Desire in Dante and Medieval Culture (McGill UP\, 2012)\, Imagining the Woman Reader in the Age of Dante (Oxford UP\, 2018)\, Beatrice e le altre. Dante e l’universo femminile (Roma-LaRepubblica\, 2021)\, and Dante’s Ulisse and Other Stories (Forthcoming: 2023). She has written several articles on medieval and early modern topics and is one of the editors of the Oxford Handbook of Dante (Oxford UP\, 2021).
