Lecture: Reunion and Regeneration: Narrative Patterns in Ancient Greek Novels and Christian Acts It is widely agreed that the Greek romantic novels are more or less cut from the same piece of cloth. Does this pattern have a meaning, or is it compatible with different, even opposite themes or messages? Does it occur in a pure state, or can it be mixed with other narrative types? Finally, can the novelistic paradigm serve as a basis for Christian tales? These are some questions to be explored in this talk. |

Lecture: Deep Frontiers: Classical Archaeology’s New Age of Exploration This summer, the Institute of Archaeological Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island began the first complete excavation of an ancient shipwreck using only remote operated vehicles (ROVs). The same summer saw the first experimental use of an AUV (Autonomous underwater vehicle) to search for ancient shipwrecks in the Black Sea, and a combined ROV and manned submersible search for Minoan shipwrecks in the Libyan Sea. As the technology of deep submergence archaeology leaps forward, this presentation explores the opportunities for Classical Scholarship. |

Lecture: Rome and China: From Convergence to Divergence The talk will argue that 2,000 years ago, half of all people on earth lived in just two empires: Rome and Han China. For many centuries, Chinese and Roman state formation had followed convergent paths, until this process was finally reversed in the sixth century A.D. The following divergence has continued to shape world history to the present day. It is only through comparative analysis that we can hope to understand these developments. |

Theater: Todd Conner’s Metamorphoses “Storytelling stripped to the bare essentials, Todd Conner’s solo-performance of Metamorphoses returns audiences to the very well-springs of the Western storytelling tradition. Conceiving, translating and adapting from Ovid, Conner reaches even further back than his ancient Roman source material to explore the poetic/rhapsodic tradition from which Ovid drew his inspiration. With only his voice, body, a few props, a minimum of light, and a harp (for which he also composed accompaniment), Conner offers a powerful reminder that in an age of relentless over-mediation and mass-entertainment, the human being remains the essential medium of artistic expression.” | |

“Mythic and local, sweeping and intimate, As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash epitomizes the tragedy of the aftermath of war. After the physical combat has stopped, what responsibilities do we hold towards the defeated? How do we not only build a better body politic, but in doing so, a better world community?” |
