UCR Philosophy Department Events: 2009–2010

In addition to our frequent colloquia and annual conferences, we also hold regular workshops. (For events from the 2008–2009 school year, click here.) This year we are privileged to host the Epistemology and Philosophy of Psychology Workshop Series, the talks from which are included below.

Also, mark your calendars for John Fischer’s CHASS Distinguished Research Lecture, to be held on Wednesday, May 12^th at 3:30 pm in INTS 1113. In announcing that John had received the Distinguished Research Lecturer Award, the college recognized what we already knew—that John’s “impressive body of writings have established him as an internationally renowned scholar whose books and writings have shaped modern studies of free will and moral responsiblity.” Please join us as we honor John for his contributions to our discipline.

Please continue to check back for more details about the workshop speakers for the 2009–2010 school year, or visit our department calendar.
