Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: The Eccentric Augustine Thursday, April 25, 2019 The writings of Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE) are fundamental to the Western European intellectual tradition. It is rarely taken into account, however, that he spent almost his entire life in North Africa. This talk will consider what the late Roman Empire looked like from the “eccentric” vantage points of Numidia and Africa Proconsularis—Algeria and Tunisia, in contemporary terms—and what effect that eccentricity may have had on Augustine’s thought. Time: 4:45 pm – 6:00 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Olin Humanities, Room 102 Sponsor: Africana Studies Program; Classical Studies Program; Interdisciplinary Study of Religions Program; Medieval Studies Program Contact: David Ungvary.
