Join us for an interdisciplinary colloquium exploring the relationship between narrative and belief. Seven guest and OSU scholars will discuss research focusing on different cultural contexts, from the ancient world to contemporary religion, popular culture, and current events. Are particular narrative forms more suited to fostering belief? How can belief and fiction coexist in the same narrative? Speakers will spark attendees to comparatively examine these dynamics.

Speakers include:

  *   Brian Collins, Ohio University
  *   Melissa Curley, OSU
  *   Seth Gaiters, University of North Carolina - Wilmington
  *   Sarah Iles Johnston, OSU
  *   Sabina Magliocco, University of British Columbia
  *   Carman Romano, Bryn Mawr College
  *   Caroline Toy, Champlain College
The event will take place 9am-4pm on Friday March 22, and 9:15am-noon on Saturday March 23, in the Founders Room of the Ohio Union. Faculty, students, and community members are welcome.

Faculty and students who are interested in attending the event can email Caroline Toy at jtoy at champlain.edu<mailto:jtoy at champlain.edu> to request copies of presenters' papers in advance. The colloquium will be discussion-based, and we highly recommend that attendees peruse presenters' work and submit questions for our conversations!

Sponsored by the Public Narrative Collaborative, Classics Coffee Hour, and the Department of Classics.

We would particularly encourage graduate students and advanced undergraduates writing a thesis to join us for the Saturday portion of the event as well as Friday. The Saturday session will include a discussion among the panelists of interdisciplinary methods in the study of narrative and belief, with extended time for questions.

Many thanks, and we hope to see/meet all of you in March!

Caroline Toy and Carman Romano
