Commentary in Motion
Registration closes on: 23 June 2026
About this event
What happens when we treat commentary not as a footnote to interpretation, but as a central mode of thinking across time?
We invite scholars across the humanities—English, Classics, Theology, Philosophy, History, and related fields—to an interdisciplinary session on practices of commentary, from ancient scholia and biblical glosses to early modern annotation and digital reading.
The event explores commentary as a transhistorical practice of interpretation, and transmission.
The aim is to develop a shared vocabulary for its forms, functions, and assumptions.
The event will include structured speed networking to encourage cross-disciplinary exchange, followed by informal discussion of ideas and potential collaborations.
Wine will be provided.
