Carl A. Rubino, the Winslow Professor of Classics, traveled to Havana, Cuba, in early January to participate in the 5th Biennial International Congress on the Philosophical, Epistemological, and Methodological Implications of Complexity Theory. At the invitation of the organizers, he offered, together with Alicia Juarrero and Robert Ulanowicz, a preconference course on “Auto-organization, Complexity, and Wonder.” The title of his presentation there was "Articulating Wonder in a Secular Age."

The conference, which took place Jan. 5-8, was organized under the auspices of Havana's Instituto de Filosofia. This was the fourth time that Rubino has participated in the conference. As in the past, he traveled to Cuba under license from the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
