Friday Colloquium Series

The Friday Colloquia are a series of lectures sponsored by the Department of Philosophy at Boston University.  Speakers normally provide their paper a week or two in advance, and then begin their presentation with a summary of the paper.  The audience should have already read the paper.  The remainder of the time is devoted to discussion.  Participants may obtain copies of the speaker's paper by contacting the Philosophy Department. These colloquia, which are almost always held on a Friday, run no longer than two hours. Please check the Calendar of Events page periodically for updates to the 2007/2008 schedule.

The Ethics Reading Group meets on Friday as well, normally at lunch, and is frequently joined by invited speakers.
