Greetings!
I hope that you might join us for this year's annual Philosophy Undergraduate Conference! This year we aimed for an emphasis on philosophy of science, though of course we were open to any quality submissions, and thus accepted a few outside those parameters.
This Friday, March 18, our key-note, Ruth Millikan, will be presenting a talk entitled The Tangle of Biological Purposes that is Us. The talk will be held in room 1145 in Stevenson Lawson at 3:30, and will be followed by a dinner at the Curry Garden, 374 Richmond Street, for six o'clock.
Tea and light refreshments will be available in the common room half an hour before the key note address, so come and join us for a quick word with Dr. Millikan before her talk!
Saturday, March 19 will feature our student speakers. Much like the key note event, the student talks will be held in room 1145.
A light breakfast will be served at 9:30, followed by three talks, and a lunch at 12:30. There will be a further two talks, and finally a dinner at Gambrinus for five o'clock to close off the conference. Gambrinus is the new name of Chancey Smith's, located at 130 King (part of the Covent Garden Market).
Student paper titles include, in the order of delivery, Unbalanced Places - Darwin's Economy of Nature and Historicity, Baby Name Trends as an Example of Clark's Cross, Philosophy, Hegemony, and Climate Science, Feminism and Rational Choice Theory, and, finally, A Survey of Descartes' Eucharistic Theology.
We hope that you are able to join us!
