The American Philosophical Association occasionally sends out flyers depicting famous and influential people who studied philosophy. We don’t have a central location to post them, so I thought I’d post them here in virtual space:

Tomorrow (Tuesday, December 7th), Dr. Brittany Gentry will be giving a talk on the topic of time.  This event will be at 4:00 in ESLC 053.

Thursday , December 9th, we will have an Ethics Slam.  The topic is Space Ethics.  For this slam, we’ll be partnering with the Douglas Space and Science Foundation. It will be on Zoom at 6:00.  The registration link is the following: https://weber.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYrdeiqqjIjH9AI2INo0eJcofH59wXb14J4
