The Scholar's Seat is a new video series created by the Bruce D. Benson Center for the Study of Western Civilization. The series introduces the visiting scholars, faculty fellows, and other constituents of the Benson Center. The series will explore the Center's commitment to fostering dialogue about fundamental values and trending issues in academia on the CU Boulder campus.
This episode features Benson Center's 2023 Roubos Sabbatical Fellow Kathryn Davis. Kathryn E. Davis (PhD, University of Dallas) is an Associate Professor of English and Co-Director of the Classical Education in Rome Summer Program at the University of Dallas (UD). She was named the 2022 Haggar Fellow, an honor awarded annually to a junior faculty member nominated by faculty colleagues for excellence in teaching. She is a member of the editorial board for Persuasions: The Jane Austen Journal, and several of her articles have been published in Persuasions and Persuasions On-Line. Her monograph, Liberty in Jane Austen’s Persuasion, was published by Lehigh University Press in 2017. She has a secondary area of interest in Dante studies; her recent article, “‘Stupor non meno’: What Virgil Saw” appears in Renascence. In the summertime she can often be found teaching high school, university, and graduate students on the UD Rome Campus.
