Panel discussion about #MeToo and our contemporary cultural landscape: Thursday, March 29th, 3:30 p.m., FAV 150. Panelists include Mattie Burkert, Erica Holberg, and Nicole Vouvalis.

If you – or you plus some other students – would like to present a paper or a panel discussion on some philosophical topic, you should submit an abstract to the Languages, philosophy, and Communication Studies colloquium. Here is the note I received from the organizer:

“Please find the attached CFP for the Spring 2018 LPCS student research symposium, to be held April 20, 2018.  Please announce this in your classes and encourage students to be involved.  Students are invited to submit abstracts to me by next Friday, March 23.  Alternatively, faculty members can organize their own panels and submit the entire panel info (student names and paper titles) to me by the deadline.  Students wanting to be considered for the Best Paper Award should submit complete papers to me by April 6.”

The organizer is David Richter, and his email is david.richter[at]usu.edu. And here is the call for papers: LPCS symposium CFP 2018

Come hear a panel discussion touching on USU’s acceptance of a huge donation from the Koch Foundation. TSC Auditorium, Tuesday, March 20th, 5 p.m. Hosted by Student Organization of Society and Natural Resources.

Those students who are sick to death of my defense of Dennett’s theory of consciousness will take great delight in this article by Galen Strawson which defends the reality of conscious qualities (smells, tastes, colors, etc – the vivid stuff of life).

Do you have a favorite YouTube that has (arguably) some sort of connection to philosophy? A presentation of a problem, a figure, a conundrum, or a joke? Let’s get together and share. Thursday evening, 7 p.m., HH 280.
