Our first Ovid workshop of the semester will be led by our own Katherine Travers, Department of Italian. The season will occur next Thursday February 9th, 8 o’clock pm at the Department of English, 244 Greene Street, Room 306. Her topic: “Infernal Language and Bodies: Ovid and Dante.” Wine and light refreshments will be served.
For those who do not know (or need a refresher!), this Ovid workshop is the fifth in a series sessions brought to you by NYU’s Medieval and Renaissance Graduate Interdisciplinary Student Network (or MARGIN). MARGIN is a graduate student group for students in any department at NYU with an interest in the Middle Ages, Renaissance, or both. If you are excited by the idea of working collaboratively with students of diverse fields, we would love for you to join the group. This series of workshops on Ovid’s significance to medieval and renaissance culture was a topic suggested by several MARGIN student members. We are learning more than we could have ever anticipated, and look forward to the many engaging talks to come. The series will culminate in an OvidSymposium on May 19th, featuring papers inspired by this year’s workshops. A formal call for papers will be circulated soon. All MARGIN participants are encouraged to participate.
