Second meeting of the Medieval Philosophy Seminar at the University of Messina, featuring Grégory Clesse (UC Louvain) and many medieval animals.

Honoured to be interviewed by Chinese Social Sciences Weekly! We talked about the enduring relevance of classical studies, their role in building bridges between cultures, and why history still matters today. Lian Zhixian did a fantastic job wrapping it all up in a beautiful narrative.

Next week in Messina, Cordoba, and on Zoom.
