Prof. Aldena Smithe: Where Character is King: Leadership and Epicureanism in Aeneid 1

The notion that Epicureanism shapes Virgil’s thought process is quite old, going back to Servius. That notion can also be derived from several factors, from the historical Virgil’s friendship to the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus and his circle, to his friendship with Horace and Maecenas, to the thematic progression of Epicurean imagery from the Eclogues through the Georgicsto the Aeneid.

Ballads and Memory. International Conference of the Ballad Commission/Kommission für Volksdichtung

Songs are often thought of as capturing the memories of a people or community.

They are a record of human experience. But how is that record constructed?

Beckett & Technology Conference

In April 1981, having devoted considerable time to resolving the technicalities that surrounded his TV play Quad, Samuel Beckett confessed to Ruby Cohn: “Not long back from Stuttgart. Unsatisfactory. Television is beyond me.” Frustrating as it may have been at times, technology held its fascination for Beckett and often became enmeshed with his work. It remained central for him, as it continues to be for researchers and practitioners engaging with his work today.

The Future of Automation and Implications for Educational Systems

The threat of automation implies a race between education and technology. In most developing countries, educational systems are not providing workers with the skills necessary to compete in today’s job markets. The growing mismatch between skills demand and supply holds economic growth back and undermines opportunities. At the same time, the returns to education are high in most developing countries, and growing skill premiums are evident in much of the world. Automation simultaneously results in deskilling

and imposes a need for new skills, and is changing what education will need to look like in the future.
