Regina Janes, professor of English, gave a talk titled 鈥淲hat is Religio Laici doing in A Tale of a Tub?"  at the 10^th Annual Dublin Symposium on Jonathan Swift held at St. Patrick鈥檚 Cathedral, Dublin, in October 2011.

Catherine Hill, F. William Harder Professor of Business, participated in a discussion with biologist and author Jerry Jenkins following the Feb. 2 screening of the documentary Chasing Ice at the Saratoga Film Forum. The event was the first in a new Film Forum series titled 鈥淚n the Public Interest!鈥� which emphasizes films that dramatize a subject of pressing, topical concern. Each screening in the series will feature a post-film conversation with one or more informed presenters who will address the subject of the film. Hill often speaks about 鈥済reenteck鈥� and climate change; Jenkins is the author of The Adirondack Atlas and Climate Change in the Adirondacks. The Adirondack Trust Co. is underwriting 鈥淚n the Public Interest.鈥�
