The Harpur College Dean's Distinguished Lecture Series, established in 1998, showcases outstanding faculty research and creative work across disciplines.

Carl Lipo, Professor of Anthropology and Associate Dean for Research will deliver the lecture: “Piece by Piece: Solving the Puzzle of Rapa Nui.”


mysteries. But mysteries imply secrets that resist explanation. Rapa Nui is better understood as a puzzle: a problem with a solution, assembled one piece at a time through careful empirical research. Each piece, when placed correctly, reveals a picture that is strikingly different from the conventional narrative of collapse. The results are counterintuitive: a story not of reckless self-destruction but of a population that found remarkably effective solutions to life on a small, remote island. The final piece of this puzzle led Professor Lipo far from Rapa Nui itself, to Ontong Java, in search of the origins of the moai tradition. This lecture traces that journey of discovery, piece by piece.

Reception to follow.

The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies will host the 35th Bernardo Lecture reception at 4:30 p.m. The lecture itself will take place from 5-6 p.m.

The 35th Bernardo Lecture, "On Dante's Virgil and Medieval Anti-Judaism", willl be given by Justin Steinberg, professor of Italian literature, at University of Chicago. His 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.
