A Department of Italian Studies Event:
An investigation of Dante’s work from the perspective of teaching - and from a new generation of faculty and advanced graduate students. How best can we introduce a canonical author to our students in an age of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? Dante speaks to all backgrounds, ethnic groups, cultures, and social classes, but how can and do we make his work appealing to our changing student populations?
Interlocutors to include Alessandro Vettori (Rutgers), Marco Aresu (Wesleyan), Alessandro Cuadrado (Columbia), Sara Diaz (Fairfield)
Teresa Rossi (Yale), Danielle Callegari (Dartmouth), Andrea Celli (UConn), Simona Lorenzini (Yale), Paolo Scartoni (Rutgers), and Ronald Jenkins (Wesleyan)
