Lecture Series
The Philosophy Department sponsors a History and Philosophy of Science Lecture Series and the Spetnagel Ethics Lecture Series. Each lecture series brings one or two speakers to campus every year, and before each lecture, we typically schedule an informal lunch for the graduate students and the speaker.
Recent speakers include Jeremy Butterfield, Clark Glymour, Tim Maudlin, Sandra Mitchell, Stewart Shapiro, Alexander Rosenberg, John Beatty, Alison Wylie, Colin Allen, Craig Callender, David Brink, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Larry Temkin, Tamar Schapiro, and David Shoemaker.
