Lectures & Events at Stanford University
Lecture Notes
Edited by Peter Y. Chou |
| Stanford University is a wonderful place for learning. After Professor Freccero's course on "Dante's Paradiso" (Spring 2001), I extended my library privileges to use their libraries. Often I'll notice posters and flyers on campus of outstanding scholars invited to Stanford for lectures that are open to the public free of charge. Listed below are my notes taken at these lectures at Stanford University and a few outside events of interest. Also added are relevant web links to the lectures as well as books & sources recommended by the speakers in the pursuit of greater learning. (Note: * Links are inactive on notes not yet typed. Cyan colored dates = notes completed). |
