The Notre Dame–Yale Dante Seminar, Dante and the Theological Virtues, brings together an international group of scholars for three days of focused discussion on faith, hope, and charity in Dante’s work. Organized around thematic sessions that combine presentations with extended discussion, the seminar explores how the theological virtues shape the Commedia and its broader intellectual context, while also opening onto questions of literary tradition and canon formation before and after Dante.
The seminar is co-sponsored by the Center for Italian Studies, the Devers Family Program in Dante Studies, Notre Dame Rome, the de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture, the ND Global Catholic Research Initiative, and the ND Cultivating Hope Forum (2025–26).
Participation is by invitation only.
