italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
The Leeds Centre for Dante Studies is pleased to announce that it will be holding its Fourth Annual Study Days for undergraduate students on Saturday 19th March 2011 at University College Cork and on Friday 25th March 2011 at the Leeds Humanities Research Institute in Leeds. Undergraduate students of Dante from any British or Irish institution are welcome to attend, regardless of how much of Dante's text they have studied.
The theme of this year's Study Day is 'Dante and Virgil'. Students who have attended previous LCDS Study Days, both in Leeds and in the Republic of Ireland, have found the events to be interesting, useful and stimulating. The directors of the LCDS would like to encourage colleagues to pass this message on to their students and to encourage as many as possible of them to attend.
Thanks to the generosity of the Society for Italian Studies, attendance at the Study Day is, once again, free of charge, and lunch is also provided for all participants.
Participants will receive some short preparatory reading passages about a week before the event. We would therefore find it very useful if interested students could fill in a registration form so that we can contact them directly. The registration form will be available on the LCDS website (http://www.leeds.ac.uk/italian/cdsstudyday.htm) very shortly.
Any students (or teachers) who require further information are welcome to contact either Claire Honess or Matthew Treherne (LCDS co-directors) on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> or [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Information about the Cork event can be obtained from Daragh O'Connell on [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
If any colleagues would like to receive a poster advertising the Leeds event, please contact me at the email address given above.
I am very much looking forward to this year's events and I hope that a good number of students will be able to join us for them, in both Cork and Leeds.
With best wishes
Claire Honess
