In 1980, the University of Notre Dame became the first major university to boycott Campbell Soup products in support of Midwestern farmworkers represented by the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (Toledo, Ohio). In a few short months, a small and dedicated cohort of students tapped into a growing movement and convinced the campus to act in solidarity. This exhibit was created in conjunction with Somos ND, a campus-wide initiative to honor the history and legacy of Latino and Hispanic contributions to the University. It is curated by Emiliano Aguilar, assistant professor in the Department of History. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment. All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.Open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, postdocs, the public, alumni, and friends  

The Joint Memorial Day Ceremony, organized by Combatants for Peace and The Parents Circle Families Forum, is one of the largest Israeli-Palestinian jointly organized peace events in history.  According to Palestinian and Israeli Bereaved Families for Peace, the ceremony "provides a unique opportunity for Israelis and Palestinians to grieve together and stand strong in demanding an end to the occupation and ongoing violence." The memorial service, which occurs in Jerusalem, will be live-streamed on campus where members of the Notre Dame Community and beyond will gather to lament, to remember, and to imagine a different path forward. This event will precede the University President's forum. For this reason speakers Hussein Ibish and David Myers will be joining us for the service and participants are invited to interact with each of them in an informal manner following the livestream. Light refreshments will be provided.Hussein Ibish, Senior Resident Scholar, Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington        David Myers, Distinguished Professor and Sady and Ludwig Kahn Chair in Jewish History, UCLA         Co-sponsored by the University of Notre Dame's Institute for Social Concerns and Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies along with the Student Voices for Palestine, Sunnyside Presbyterian Church, United Religious Community, Women's Interfaith Dialogue.

What might a just peace look like for Israelis and Palestinians? Out of the many options that have been proposed over the decades—one-state, two-state, bi-national confederation, international peacekeeping missions—what seems most likely in the foreseeable future? Is an absence of war our last best hope, or can we keep hope alive for enduring peace that reconciles between the two peoples? Our Israel-Palestine event series concludes with another conversation with David Myers and Hussein Ibish about the range of futures for the region: the ideal, the possible, and the probable.  Notre Dame ID's will be required for entrance to this event.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the OVI-UND seminar series, the Center for Italian Studies is pleased to host a seminar by the Progetto CLIO team at the Opera del Vocabolario Italiano: “Due casi di studio e i corpora per lo studio integrato della poesia delle Origini. Il commento in volgare all’Aesopus attribuito a Gualtiero Anglico del ms. Vat. lat. 3216” (Two case studies and the corpora for the integrated study of early italian poetry. The vernacular commentary on the Aesopus attributed to Gualtiero Anglico in manuscript Vat. lat. 3216)   Tra le raccolte medievali di favole esopiche, quella in distici elegiaci attribuita a Gualtiero Anglico ha goduto di particolare fortuna. Nel 1951, Mario Pelaez dà notizia di un compendio in prosa latina dell’Aesopus accompagnato da un commento in versi in volgare italo-veneto di mano trecentesca conservato nel manoscritto miscellaneo Vat. lat. 3216. L’intervento intende ritornare sul testo a partire da tre prospettive di ricerca: 1. l’analisi macro-strutturale del codice Vat. lat. 3216, latore di altre opere latine e volgari, come i Trionfi e i Salmi penitenziali di Petrarca e il capitolo Re Carlo primo fu grande omo e fero di Franco Sacchetti; 2. l’indagine metrica delle sessanta unità strofiche che costituiscono il commento volgare; 3. lo studio stilistico e lessicale del testo. Carolina Borrelli è assegnista di ricerca presso l’Opera del Vocabolario Italiano (OVI-CNR) nell’ambito del progetto PRIN 2022 CLIO - Corpora per la Lirica Italiana delle Origini.
