an interactive talk that combines his interests in classics, literature, and ancient philosophy called “Nature vs. Nurture: Ancient Rhetoric and the Talent Debate” (poster attached). I hope that you can join! The following Friday (December 8<sup>th</sup>)
we will have our final Reading Room of the term in the same location, from 3 to 5 p.m. I will be sure to bring some holiday snacks and treats to these events.
