Romance Studies at Cornell

Curious what a ROMS minor can do for you? Join us from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Thursday in K164 Klarman to chat about opportunities in French, Italian and Spanish!

It's a great week to come see what Romance Studies is all about! Swing by the ROMS open house on Thursday, catch the French film "The Monopoly of Violence" on Friday, and at the end of the week, don't miss the Consortium for Language Teaching & Learning's conference: "Connecting Language Teaching and Social Justice: A Call for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion."

See you there!

The Art & Science of Thinking Conference starts tomorrow- see you in the Kaufmann Auditorium in Goldwin Smith Hall!

Conference considers the Art & Science of Thinking Oct. 21-22 “We want to open a robust dialogue between humanists and scientists around the very notion of ‘thought’ and ‘thinking,."

Reading Spanish realist novels, Professor Julia Chang noticed a pattern—and wrote a book: "Their plots were all structured around beautiful and (initially) chaste women who bore the responsibility of their families’ bloodlines.”

Read this wonderful story by CAS and then head to Olin for Chats in the Stacks at 4 p.m. today to hear about Dr. Chang's new book!

‘Blood Novels’ explores material, metaphor in Spanish realist fiction In her new book, Julia Chang examines the presence of blood and its deeper literary and cultural meaning in novels by three Spanish authors.

Let's have a chat in the stacks! Join us tomorrow as Julia Chang discusses her new book "Blood Novels: Gender, Caste and Race in Spanish Realism"! 4 p.m. in 107 Olin Library, and on Zoom!

Catch the second to last film of the 2022 Cine con Cultura film festival ... online for free! https://www.culturaithaca.com/cine-con-cultura-2022

Our second to last film starts tomorrow! Please register to watch “Fly so Far” from El Salvador. Link in the bio. This film is about the extreme criminalization of abortion in this Central American country. Women that have had a miscarriage end up being accused of homicide and getting sentenced to 30 years in prison. Make sure not to miss it. It’s a really powerful film. 🇸🇻

“While more scholars work in such a transdisciplinary way, we still lack opportunities to have long, sustained conversations,” Dubreuil said. “This conference is trying to fill that gap.”

The Art & Science of Thinking Conference is right around the corner! Save the date for this deep dive into the mind - Oct. 21 & 22!
