I’m excited to speak at a couple upcoming panels on antiquity and its influence on early modernity. At the end of March 2017, I’ll be presenting at the RSA in Chicago on the panel entitled “Early Moderns and Their Ancient Philosophers” (Friday, March 31). I’ll also be on a 2018 SCS panel hosted by the Society for Early Modern Classical Reception, “Translation and Transmission: Mediating Classical Texts in the Early Modern World.” I’ll be talking about some ongoing research on Hobbes’ scientific thought and its appearance in his English translation of Aristotle’s Rhetoric. Especially for those interested in the early modern period and in the history of rhetoric, pencil us in!
