Common Ground Reading

Wednesday, November 12, 6pm - 7:30pm 
The Jay S. & Jeanne Benet Alumni Lounge, Old O'Connor Hall

Join the Common Ground reading series to experience live readings by undergraduate & graduate student writers.

This paper will argue that Dante draws on medieval representations of Jews to depict the character Virgil. Like one of the authors of the Hebrew Bible, Virgil’s texts illuminate those who will come after him, though he is himself blind to their true meaning. His poetry can save Statius, but he is himself damned. The tragedy of the obtuse Virgil is the tragedy of the obtuse Jews. More broadly, Dante found in Christian supersessionism a strategy to deal with his classical and pagan predecessors—incorporating them into his work but also relegating them, forcing them to serve the Christian poet.

This talk is presented by The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

Hors d'oeuvres and refreshments will be served!

11/14 & 11/16- The Said and the Unsaid (AEMI Touring Film Program)

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.

Featuring works on loan from the DeMarree Collection.

Binghamton University Art Museum is open Tuesday–Saturday 12–4PM and Thursdays until 7PM.

Also in the Museum’s Lower Galleries are three exhibitions curated by students: Superposition: Examining Boundaries in East Asian Religious Art curated by Kate Langsdorf ’25; The Visual Language of Grief curated by Molly Rudden ’25; and Destabilizing “the Brain”: Imagining Binghamton University curated by Bassie Chin ’26.
