Dante Meets Einstein at Café Paradiso: Renewing the Vows Between Humanities and Science

Dante’s narrative poem The Divine Comedy and Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity were both inspired by the octagonal mosaic ceiling of the Baptistry of Saint John in Florence, Italy. Gazing upward, both Einstein and Dante realized the same beauty in two different but unified worlds: the arts and the sciences. Over time, this union has dissolved into the arts or the sciences. Grab your seat at Café Paradiso and watch Dante and Einstein meet for the first time in this webinar! Participate in a conversation that renews the vows between beauty, art, poetry, science, and mathematics, demonstrating how the humanities and social sciences are a critical component in inspiring curiosity and creativity within the sciences.

In this NISOD webinar participants will: learn new strategies and methodologies that incorporate the sciences and the humanities to inspire a more creative individual and learn about The Inspirational Six (The-i6), a method the presenters  created by studying some of the greatest scientific and artistic minds, Einstein and Dante.
