Does history really repeat itself?  If not, how is it that Scipio Africanus (ca. 235-183 BCE) and his biological nephew/adoptive grandson Scipio Aemilianus (185-129 BCE) both were entrusted with major commands at an early age, both were left to raise their own army for their second major commands, both achieved lasting renown for defeating Carthage, and both had a best friend named Gaius Laelius (themselves father and son)?  Professor Chaplin will show how the younger Scipio engineered similarities to his illustrious adoptive grandfather to bolster his own career.

The exhibition is composed of over 3,200 handwritten toe tags that represent migrants who have died trying to cross the Sonoran Desert of Arizona between the mid-1990s and 2019. These tags are geolocated on a wall map of the desert showing the exact locations where remains were found.

All sophomores are invited to join us for a series of informal conversations and experiential practices to explore contemplative and mindful approaches to learning and how they might connect with self-care and wellbeing. These sessions will be facilitated by Prof. Melissa Hammerle (EDST) and Middlebury students.

Sponsored by the Mellon Grant for the Sophomore Seminar in the Liberal Arts. 

Friday, October 29 from 1:00 pm – 6:00 pm - Fall Faculty Forum, Axinn Center. The forum features three 90-minute sessions with two parallel panels.
