Dear Colleagues,
Happy New Year! We are happy to announce the Renaissance Workshop’s Winter 2023 schedule, which can be found in full below. The workshop will be held on Mondays from 5:00-6:30pm, BUT PLEASE NOTE that our meeting room is Rosenwald 301. Our usual room, Rosenwald 405, is booked for a class during our workshop time this Winter. Should you like to join a meeting via Zoom, please email either Sarah-Gray Lesley (sglesley@uchicago.edu) or Andrés Irigoyen (airigoyen@uchicago.edu) for accommodation. In the event that the meeting switches to a virtual setting, we will notify you in the announcement a week in advance of the event.
Materials for the workshop, as well as the schedule and any updates, are available on our website. The Renaissance Workshop is free and open to the public, and we encourage those new to the workshop to attend.
We look forward to seeing you on Monday, January 9th when Timothy Harrison (Associate Professor of English at the University of Chicago) and Jane Mikkelson (Lecturer & Associate Research Scholar of Classical Persian at Yale University) will present the paper “‘Worlds Together Shined’: Bidel, Traherne, and Collaborative Comparison.”
Best,
Sarah-Gray and Andrés
