The Student Global Health Conference at the University brings together committed leaders, educators, and students from diverse fields of study to assess the global health landscape and discuss their roles within it.

Dante’s Divina Commedia is one of the most, if not the most quoted book in the works of Primo Levi.

In the Institute’s annual Seamus Heaney Memorial Lecture, Eve Patten, professor of English and director of the Oscar Wilde Centre at Trinity College, Dublin, will speak on the theme of the poet and anxiety. Taking its cue from Heaney’s essay "Sounding Auden," this lecture will revisit Heaney’s complex response to his predecessor W.H. Auden’s "hungering for a form" against a backdrop of world crisis, and considers—seven decades after the appearance of Auden’s "The Age of Anxiety"—the role of poetry in apprehensive times.

Gill challenges that notion by looking at two of the most heinous dictators of the 20th century, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.…
