Sherlock Holmes, that is. Professor Brian McCuskey of English will present his “last lecture” (not really the last) on Wednesday, 9/27, at 3:30 p.m. in the Caine Performance Hall. Promises to be funny and mind-bending, in equal measures.
Bible study group
Whether you are a believer or not, there can be no question that the Bible has had a huge impact on intellectual history – and continues to exert its influence today, in one way or another. Hence it behooves us to know it. Chasen Robbins has established a weekly bible study group – and all are welcome! Details:
Mondays 4:00-5:30
Library Room 112
Starting 9/25
Philosophy lecture: Love and Justice
Laurence Paul Hemming (Lancaster University, UK) will present a lecture titled “Can Love Bring Justice? Answers from Now and from Antiquity”. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 from 3:00-4:15. ENGR 101. All are welcome!
UPDATE: Yes, the lecture is in ENGR 101 (there was some confusion on this point).
Facticity Panel: “Truth is Complicated”
Another upcoming event of interest:
The USU Department Heads have organized a panel series called “Facticity” (the quality of being a fact). The motivating question of the series, as I understand it, is something like ‘In an age of contested truths and alternate facts, how should we think about truth?’
The first panel is titled “Truth is Complicated” and will be held Tuesday, September 12 from 5:00-6:30pm in Eccles Conference Center Auditorium. Panelists (all USU faculty) include our very own Charlie Huenemann, Aaron Brough, Phebe Jensen, and Courtney Flint. Reception with some finger food after, followed by an optional discussion (moderated by our own Harrison Kleiner).
Free Speech on Campus panel
The USU Institute of Government and Politics and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences are hosting a panel discussion titled “Free Speech on Campus: Where’s the Line?” This is part of the “pizza and politics” series – so there will be free pizza.
CHaSS Dean Joseph Ward will moderate. Panelists include Michael Scott Peters (USUSA President), Marina Lowe (ACLU Utah), Rep. Justin Fawson (Utah Legislature), and Professor Kim Lott (USU TEAL).
Wednesday, September 13th at 5pm in the Huntsman Hall Perry Paviliion (4th floor).
