Professor Catherine Conybeare (Bryn Mawr) will offer the O’Donnell Memorial Lecture on Friday, November 21 at the Centre for Medieval Studies., under the title “Augustine the African.” Professor Conybearee will propose to consider how Augustine’s anomalous position as simultaneously a triumphant example of imperial ideals and education and a defiantly loyal North African affects the structure of his thought and his view of the world.
