“The Italian Mind” Lecture featuring Arielle Saiber, PhD
Circumferences Everywhere: From Geometry to Tranquility
How can studying literature together with science and mathematics help us to describe the indescribable, understand altered states of consciousness, and find peace in times of great strife? Arielle Saiber, PhD, Charles S. Singleton Professor of Italian Studies at Johns Hopkins University, explores these and other questions in her talk on Thursday, April 16 at 5 p.m. in the Larson Auditorium, Driscoll Hall. This will be the inaugural lecture of Villanova Italian Studies Program’s “The Italian Mind” colloquia. A light reception will follow the lecture.
About “The Italian Mind”
From the arts to the sciences, from architecture to business, minds inspired by Italian culture have contributed to the advancement of knowledge and promoted the public good. In this colloquia series, Villanova’s Italian Program invites scholars, artists, and industry leaders to discuss how their work has both field-changing import and an impact that extends beyond their disciplines. We cordially invite you to join in these discussions about the personal and societal benefits of thinking “with an Italian mind” (Italiana-mente).
