For those interested, the 12th Southern California Philosophy Conference will take place this Saturday. Hosted by the Claremont Colleges’ departments of philosophy, the conference will take place at Pitzer College. Admission is FREE!
Also of note, our very own Dr. Tim Black will be presenting on epistemology in a talk titled, How To Do Epistemology.
Additionally, Dr. Julie Tannenbaum—who many of you will remember from CSU, Northridge, and who currently is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Pomona College—will be co-presenting a paper titled, Full Moral Status of the Cognitively Impaired: Rescuing the Commonsense View, along with Dr. Agnieszka Jaworska, from UC Riverside.
