The event takes place at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, at the Fairfield University Bookstore, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield. It is free and open to the public.

Brill received her doctorate in 2004 from the Pennsylvania State University, having written on the role of medicine in Plato's Republic, with specializations in ancient philosophy and ethics. Since then she has published articles on several Platonic dialogues.

She teaches classes on Plato, Aristotle, tragedy, women in classical literature, and ancient medicine and philosophy. In 2013, she directed a three-week international philosophy conference, the Collegium Phaenomenologicum, in Italy.

“Sara Brill takes on at least two significant issues in Platonic scholarship: the nature of the soul, and especially the language of immortality in its description, and the relationship between politics and psychology,” wrote Marina McCoy, Boston College associate professor of philosophy.
