The Nanovic Institute for European Studies presents: Current Affairs Cafe: Is International Travel Ethical? With Professor Clemens Sedmak Join us for an engaging discussion on the ethics of international travel! From climate impact to cultural exchange, from business class flights to Caribbean cruises, we’ll explore the challenges and opportunities of global travel. This is a chance to challenge your preconceived ideas, build your civic discourse skills with an introduction to evidence-based productive dialogue techniques, and connect with fellow students over tea and biscuits. Snacks, tea, and coffee will be provided. All undergraduates welcome—bring your curiosity and an open mind! About the Current Affairs Cafe The Current Affairs Cafe is a chance for undergraduate students to come together over coffee, tea, and snacks to discuss timely issues facing our world. While these conversations can seem difficult in our increasingly polarized society, this series will teach best practices on productive dialogue so that students can build critical discourse skills. The Nanovic Institute for European Studies will be presenting these student events a few times each semester, bringing in a speaker to start a conversation on a globally relevant topic, so while we will discuss Europe, we will also consider perspectives and questions drawn from all continents. Any undergraduate looking to engage and have a stimulating conversation is most welcome to attend. Originally published at nanovic.nd.edu.

Please join the Keough-Naughton Institute and the Department of English for a lecture by Professor Daniel Carey entitled "Renaissance Travel: A Cultural History." Lecture Abstract The development of a secular understanding of the purpose of travel in the early modern period led to the identification of new goals and new risks associated with the activity. In this lecture, Daniel Carey considers the advice delivered to travelers and the paradoxes that characterize it. The observational priority was potentially offset by the threat of a destabilized identity for those who ventured abroad. The talk will explore a range of contexts for thinking about Renaissance travel, including the history of science, the relationship between European and exotic travel, issues of belief and credibility, satire on travellers, and writing practices. Speaker Biography Daniel Carey is Established Professor of English at the University of Galway. He was Director of the Moore Institute from 2014-23. He is author of Locke, Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson: Contesting Diversity in the Enlightenment and Beyond, and editor of The Postcolonial Enlightenment, Asian Travel in the Renaissance, and other books. He is Secretary of the Royal Irish Academy. Daniel Carey is a visiting fellow at the Keough-Naughton Institute for the spring 2025 semester.

The Raclin Murphy Museum of Art is delighted to welcome artist Clarissa Tossin to speak on her work in the exhibition Clarissa Tossin: All That You Touch, You Change. In three bodies of work in this exhibition, the artist explores how legacies of colonialism lead to harmful appropriative practices, rampant consumption, and destruction of Earth’s life-sustaining biodiversity, as well as the attempted privatization of, and extraction from, sovereign celestial bodies. Tossin will discuss her work and these themes amid the broader context of her artistic practice. https://raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu/visit/events/2025/02/20/artist-talk-clarissa-tossin/
