Lecture Categories The Descent from Flatland into the World of Lower Dimensions Flatland, Edwin A. Abbott’s marvelous little book has, for over a century, brought both humor and insight into our thinking about a mythical land of two dimensions. This lecture explores at an elementary level the fascinating and counter-intuitive behavior of particles in real structures of two, one, and zero dimensions that are central to today’s miracles of nanotechnology.

Ken W. Milani, Ph.D., ’96 Hon. Professor, Accountancy Biography Ken Milani accepted a position with Johnson & Johnson after graduating from Bradley University with a B.S. in accounting. A little over three years later, he returned to Bradley for an M.B.A. and his first taste of teaching. Two years of the academic life as an instructor convinced him that this would be a great way to make a living, so he enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the University of Iowa. He came to the University of Notre Dame early in 1972. Journals that have published his work include The Accounting Review, The Journal of the American Taxation Association, The Journal of Accountancy, Management Accounting, TAXES—The Tax Magazine, Taxation for Accountants, and The Journal of Real Estate Taxation. Milani co-authored a Programmed Learning Aid (PLAID) in federal taxes, and his most recent effort is a South-Western publication, Tax Tips for the 2011 Graduate. As faculty coordinator of the Notre Dame-Saint Mary’s College Tax Assistance Program (TAP) for 39 years, Milani directed the efforts of students, faculty, and CPAs who provided free income tax service to individuals in the Michiana area. He continues to serve the TAP as its technical coordinator. He also is actively involved in the Notre Dame executive development programs. Lectures Ethics and the Elderly: Peering at America’s Aging Population from a Business and Economic Perspective People’s lives are being impacted by the so-called “age wave” (i.e., the aging of a large segment of the American population). This lecture examines individuals in their economic roles as employees, consumers, and employers. It also considers the effect an older population is expected to have on specific industries. Faith: The Role it Plays in the Life of a Business and in the Business of Life This is an interactive session that focuses on the role faith plays in the life of business as it operates and encounters a variety of peaks and valleys while providing goods and services in pursuit of a profit. The life of a business is compared to the life of an individual while he/she experiences the pressures and pleasures of living in contemporary society. 72 The Hesburgh Lecture Series, 2012 Program Categories Business, Economics, Ethics, Spirituality
