9:30 a.m.-10:40 a.m. - American Studies: Melville, Moby Dick and the American Experience. Andrew Delbanco, Columbia University - Professor Delbanco, the author of the acclaimed biography "Melville: His World and Work," will discuss why Melville was unrecognized in his own time and why his genius, recognized over the course of the 20th century, speaks to us so powerfully today.

10:55 a.m.-12:05 p.m. - International Affairs: Iraq, Iran, and the Future of the Middle East - Paul Bracken, Yale University- Age-old animosities between Arabs and Persians and between Muslim-states and Israel are being recalculated.
