| "Thinking with the Mystics" |
| It's not every day you hear of someone falling into trance and delivering messages from God in rhyme. Still more extraordinary are the stakes of such events. Can they spark political resistance? Do they sway public opinion and action? This talk explores the lives of early modern British women who influenced political and religious movements through their mystical poetry and visions. Don't look for them in your Norton Anthology. |

The Abigail Grigsby Urquhart Professorship awarded to Rebecca Benefiel |
| "Uncovering the mysteries of Pompeii" |
| In the year 79, Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii under 30+ feet of volcanic debris, preserving the remains of the town in remarkable detail. Even after two centuries of excavation, Pompeii still continues to reveal its secrets. Thousands of handwritten texts on the walls of Pompeii tell a new story of what life was like in the first century. This talk presents the detective work of archaeology and the value of interrogating evidence - even evidence that may have long been ignored. |
