Hamilton College Winslow Professor of Classics Carl Rubino will present a lecture and discussion, “Articulating Wonder in a Secular Age,” on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 4:10 p.m. in the Science Center’s 3024 classroom. The lecture, the third in the Hamilton College Humanities Forum, is free and open to the public.

The Humanities Forum is a series of lectures, workshops, and presentations designed to explore the problem of secular humanism in the modern academy. The theme for 2009-11 is “The Secular Gaze: Humanistic Representations of the World.” The forum aims to open a discourse on the philosophical foundations of modern secularism and their effects on contemporary society. Organizers hope that these events will celebrate and highlight the humanities both at Hamilton and as an area of teaching, study and contemplation.
