Fall/Winter 2023

Volume 17

In this Omnia, we showcase how immersion enhances a liberal arts education and the hope Penn Arts & Sciences faculty feel even in the face of overwhelming climate change realities. We profile classicist Emily Wilson, who recently published a new translation of The Iliad; get to know Biology’s self-described “plant group” and the new Cinema & Media Studies Department; and learn what life is like in China today, more than three years after COVID lockdowns began. Plus, we highlight a course that teaches students fieldwork in West Philadelphia, learn about laughter, and so much more.
