Title
"Poet, That’s Just Like You!": Language and the Figure of Echo (Steiner Lecture)
Description
Video recording of a lecture delivered on February 11, 2022, by Ange Mlinko as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Mlinko is the poetry editor of the Nation, an associate professor at the University of Florida, and a Guggenheim fellow.
Mlinko describes her lecture: "Poetry is an enormous subject, but it can be distilled into a single figure. This figure is Echo, who manifests in three ways: as a prosodic device at the level of the line and stanza; as a poetic form; and as a nymph from Greek mythology, who may stand in for literature itself. We will look at the many ways in which Echo informs poetry and teaches us to read it.”]
This lecture is also part of the Steiner Lecture Series, which is made possible by a gift from the Steiner family in memory of Andrew Steiner, an alumnus of the college from 1963. The lecture series was established to bring notable speakers to campus from a variety of disciplines and endeavors, in recognition of Steiner’s intellectual versatility, and for the sake of continued learning.

"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself": Reflecting with Montaigne on Liberation of the Intellect and on Education in Times of Crisis
Description
Video recording of a lecture delivered by Walter Sterling, Santa Fe tutor on February 5, 2021 as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Mr. Sterling describes his lecture: "The lecture will blend reflections on education in times of crisis, including a discussion of the founding of the St. John’s Program, with an examination of Montaigne’s understanding of education and its ends. Montaigne, who lived through plague and civil war, is one of the few authors who can stake a claim to give birth to the modern individual. His response to the crises of his times was to cultivate a new literary form, the 'essay,' devoted to a new topic, 'myself,' and to send out a renewed or radicalized call for freedom of thought, independent judgment, and self-possession."

"We the Heroes" or "We the People?" Leadership in the Homeric Epic
Description
Video recording of a lecture delivered on September 24, 2021, by Johannes Haubold as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Dr. Haubold is a Professor of Classics at Princeton University.
Dr. Haubold describes his lecture: "This lecture investigates some fundamental problems of leadership as they emerge from the Homeric epics. It asks what happens when heroic leaders (Achilles, Agamemnon, Hector, Odysseus) ignore the needs of their people and end up failing them, despite their duty of care (a scenario expressed by recurring formulas in which leaders, as ‘shepherds of the people’, repeatedly and catastrophically ‘destroy the people’). The paper moreover asks whether ancient audiences in specific settings, most importantly the ancient Athenian festival of the Panathenaea, identified with epic leaders or their people.”

Ulysses: Does Your Life Matter? The Conspiracy Against Knowing Who You Are and How to Fight This Conspiracy with Amor-Matris
Description
Video recording of a lecture delivered by Annapolis tutor David Townsend on March 26, 2021 as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Mr Townsend describes his lecture: "Ulysses names Amor Matris—mother-love—as the passion most strongly opposing the tyrannical conspiracy against knowing who you are. Mothers are certain that their children deserve love and freedom. People infused with Amor Matris cannot be dominated without their consent. Tyrants cannot control people who love this deeply. Via the stories of the three main characters, Ulysses gives you a purpose-driven way to free yourself, your native land, your dearest associations, your working life, your family and friends, and your soul."

W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk, and the Democratic Catastrophe of the Color Line
Description
Video recording of a lecture delivered by Jared Loggins on April 16, 2021 as part of the Formal Lecture Series.
Mr. Loggins is an Assistant Professor of Black Studies and Political Science at Amherst University. His research and teaching interests are in black political thought, religious studies, and modern and contemporary democratic theory. He is about to publish his first book, which he co-authored, that “explores a critical theory of racial capitalism in the work of Martin Luther King Jr.”
Mr. Loggins describes his lecture: "When W.E.B. Du Bois wrote, at the dawn of the twentieth century, the now famous formulation in The Souls of Black Folk that 'the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line,' he was issuing something of a prophecy. Du Bois foresaw catastrophe in a failure to regard the flourishing of African-Americans in the United States as of central concern in the American polity. Souls imagined racial domination as a shared 'democratic' catastrophe, and one that can be understood as taking on world significance in his later work. In seeing the catastrophe of racial domination as shared, Souls established Du Bois as a towering political theorist on the question of what freedom demands on both sides of the color line."
