The Dante Society of America will be sponsoring a session titled "Dante and the Sciences of the Human: Medicine, Physics, Soul" at the 2022 Annual Meeting of the Renaissance Society of America. Paper proposals are requested by June 15, 2021. Please see the "Meeting & Events section" of this website for additional details.

In commemoration of the 700th anniversary of Dante's death, the Dante Society is collaborating with New York University's Department of Italian Studies and Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò to produce podcast conversations about all 100 cantos of the Divine Comedy. The podcasts are available as YouTube videos, hosted and archived by NYU and the Dante Society of America. Episodes are released on Mondays and Wednesdays, though not necessarily in numerical order. For more information, including how to record and contribute videos, please visit the Canto per Canto: Conversations with Dante in Our Time project page.
