Each semester, the Philosophy and Humanities department hosts a colloquium series to discuss novel concepts, emerging theories, and new ideas. In the Fall faculty present their work, which is critiqued by students who are selected by the faculty. In the Spring, we invite students to present their work, which is critiqued by their peers. Students are encourages to participate both as commentators and presenters, as well as to attend talks. If you are interested in presenting your work or commenting on someone else's work, please contact Kimberly Blessing.
