The first Ciceronian Society Conference will occur at the University of Virginia, March 17-20th. Our panels will examine issues related to Tradition, Place, and ‘Things Divine” within the arts, literature, philosophy, and social/political thought. Participating scholars include the following: Patrick Deneen, Donald Livingston, John Medialle, John Mueller, Jeff Taylor, Ellis West, James Matthew Wilson, Tom Landess, Nathan Coleman, Michael Schwarz, Jerry Slayer, Thomas Storck, William Wilson, Richard Bishirjian, Daniel McCarthy, Kevin Honeycutt, Rex Martin, Joseph Devaney, Lewis McCrary, Dwight Lindley, Coyle Neal, Erik Root, Glenn Moots, Gene Callahan, and Peter Haworth.
Conference panels are open to the public; however, certain space limitations apply. Also, there will be a fee for non-presenting attendees who participate in the group meals (i.e., $150 for the two meals and $75 for one). Dinning seats are limited, so you will need to contact us in advance to reserve a seat. All, however, will be welcome to attend the after dinner lectures.
