This two-day event (November 2-3) will commemorate the Lutheran Reformation as well as the other reformations that led up to and followed it. Joy A. Schroeder, Ronald Rittgers, Rachel Sabath Beit-Halachmi and nine Miami University speakers will discuss historical, social, religious, linguistic, and political events surrounding the reformations of the 16th century. The three keynote speakers will each provide a longer presentation, which will be followed by a discussion period; the nine Miami speakers will provide either individual sessions or panel discussions. Students who took part in Miami University German courses held in Germany during summer 2017 will display their photos of historically significant structures and locations. The Miami Art Museum will present an exhibition of Reformation-themed art objects.
