- Oct 267:30 PMFilm: "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror" (1922)A cornerstone of the horror film, F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror is resurrected in an HD edition mastered from the acclaimed 35mm restoration by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung. This edition offers unprecedented visual clarity and historical faithfulness to the original release version. An unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu remains to many viewers the most unsettling vampire film ever made, and its bald, spidery vampire, personified by the diabolical Max Schreck, continues to spawn imitations in the realm of contemporary cinema.

- Oct 271:00 PMFilm: "Hocus Pocus" (1993)After moving to Salem, Massachusetts (not the best town to land in right before Halloween), teenager Max explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani (future star of American Beauty, Thora Birch) and their new friend, Allison. When Allison tells them a bit of local lore, the siblings dismiss the story as boring old superstition. As is sometimes the case, there's truth behind the legend, and Max accidentally frees a coven of witches (Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kathy Najimy). Now, with the help of a magical cat (bearing a strong resemblance to Salem Saberhagen), the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. GET TICKETS!

- Oct 2912:30 PMLecture: "Are Latin American Bureaucrats Democrats? Politics, Technocratic Orientation, and Democracy"Scott MorgensternProfessor of Political ScienceUniversity of Pittsburgh Given their role in implementing policy and executive orders, bureaucrats are uniquely positioned to respond to executive overreach. Their attitudes toward democracy, however, have avoided significant scrutiny. This talk thus explores their commitment to democracy using an original survey of nearly 12,000 Latin American bureaucrats. To explain the likelihood of their commitment to democracy, the focus is on technocratic orientation, their alignment with the president, and the level of and change in the country’s democratic context.

- Oct 303:30 PMSoc(AI)ety Seminars Series: “Can LLMs Reason and Plan?”Join the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society for the first session of the second cohort of the Soc(AI)ety Seminars, where we will host Subbarao Kambhampati, a professor of computer science at Arizona State University. Large Language Models (LLMs) are on track to reverse what seemed like an inexorable shift of AI from explicit to tacit knowledge tasks. Trained as they are on everything ever written on the web, LLMs exhibit “approximate omniscience”—they can provide answers to all sorts of queries, but with nary a guarantee. This could herald a new era for knowledge-based AI systems—with LLMs taking the role of (blowhard?) experts. But first, we have to stop confusing the impressive form of the generated knowledge for correct content, and resist the temptation to ascribe reasoning, planning, self-critiquing etc. powers to approximate retrieval by these n-gram models on steroids. We have to focus instead on LLM-Modulo techniques that complement the unfettered idea generation of LLMs with careful vetting by model-based AI systems. In this talk, Kambhampati will reify this vision and attendant caveats in the context of the role of LLMs in planning tasks. Light refreshments will be provided for attendees. RSVP is not required but it is encouraged. RSVP Here! Guest Speaker Bio: Subbarao Kambhampati is a professor of computer science at Arizona State University. Kambhampati studies fundamental problems in planning and decision making, motivated in particular by the challenges of human-aware AI systems. He is a fellow of Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Association for Computing machinery. He served as the president of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, a trustee of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, the chair of AAAS Section T (Information, Communication and Computation), and a founding board member of Partnership on AI. Kambhampati’s research as well as his views on the progress and societal impacts of AI have been featured in multiple national and international media outlets. He can be followed on Twitter @rao2z.

- Oct 315:00 PM2024 Mathews Byzantine Lecture: "'Upon whom the ends of the ages have come': Byzantine Perspectives on the Theology of History"About the Talk This lecture will tackle the theological understanding of history through the prism of Byzantine historiography and theology. Particular attention will be paid to a selection of historians and to the work of St. Maximus the Confessor and St. Gregory Palamas. The lecture will also consider some modern Orthodox contributions to the theology of history (Fr. Georges Florovsky, Fr. Sergius Bukgakov) and ask what specific contribution the Byzantine tradition can make to the broader field of the theology of history which has been shaped up to this point largely by Western figures and themes. The lecture will be followed by a reception. About the Speaker Marcus Plested (D.Phil., University of Oxford, 1999) is professor of Greek Patristic and Byzantine Theology at Marquette University. Schooled in London, he studied modern history followed by theology at Merton College, Oxford, completing his doctorate under the supervision of Metropolitan Kallistos Ware. He taught for many years at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies and the Faculty of Divinity in Cambridge. He has been a member of the Center of Theological Inquiry and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, and has taught, lectured, and published widely in patristic, Byzantine, and modern Orthodox theology.

- Nov 16:30 PMPre-Show Lecture and Reception for "Twelfth Night" by Actors From The London Stage: "The Art and Scholarship of Academic Storytelling"The Nanovic Institute is thrilled to join Actors From The London Stage, the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, and Shakespeare at Notre Dame in hosting this special presentation in The Art and Scholarship of Academic Storytelling series. Before the performance of Twelfth Night on November 1, Jenny Thorup Birkett, postdoctoral research associate in the Department of English, will lead a pre-show discussion with Scott Jackson, the Mary Irene Ryan Family Executive Artistic Director of Shakespeare at Notre Dame.

Buy Tickets Now Light refreshments will be offered in the lobby between the conclusion of the lecture and the start of the performance to allow conversations to continue. Then, after the curtain falls, the institute will host a special post-show Q&A with both the actors and the executive director. About the SeriesThe Art and Scholarship of Academic Storytelling series explores the connections between “The Arts” (music, theater, dance, poetry/creative writing, filmmaking, drawing, painting, photography, and sculpting) and “Scholarship” on the topic of storytelling. Story and narrative are critical in the transmission of human ideas and culture. Thus, the institute and its partners across campus seek to understand how these methods of transmitting ideas may be practiced within an academic context. To do so, it seeks out the expertise of practitioners of the arts who do this type of storytelling in their work. Students, faculty, staff, and the general public are all invited to join these events, which are sometimes scheduled in tandem with performances on campus or in the local community, to consider this fascinating topic that cuts across disciplinary lines and appeals to academic and general audiences alike.
