Best known for its impressive and intact mosaics, the House of the Faun at Pompeii presents an opportunity to consider the ways in which well-established Pompeian families responded and adapted to the establishment of a Roman colony on the site. Through a consideration of the portraiture of Alexander the Great, the relationship between multiple mosaics within the house, and the bronze statue of a faun that gives the house its name, the course explores how scholars associate specific families with such houses and the ways in which the identities of homeowners may influence their decorative and design choices. With a focus upon the Alexander Mosaic, the masterwork composed of over 1 million individual stone tiles, and upon the architecture of the house itself, this course explores the ways in which visitors to the space could use their interpretations of the artworks within to navigate their shifting political and social realities while maintaining their own Pompeian identities.

Curiosity is powerful. Research tells us it can enhance intelligence and increase perseverance. Being curious propels us to deeper engagement, superior performance, and more meaningful goals. The question is: how can we be more curious? This workshop will give you a first orientation to the strange, fascinating and fragile phenomenon of being curious. We will explore what curiosity is, what kind of curious you are, ways we can be more curious, and, if possible, how we might invite others to be curious. -
