Philosophy Colloquia The philosophy colloquium series, held weekly, year round including all summer, is one of the distinctive features of the Dalhousie Philosophy Department. It is an eagerly anticipated forum where faculty and students have the opportunity to develop and present work and to engage in lively philosophical exchange. Each colloquium is attended by all faculty and graduate students, as well as by interested faculty from other departments and universities. In the first hour, someone presents a paper, followed by questions and close discussion in the second hour. Faculty present work in progress, graduate students are encouraged to present sections of their theses and dissertations, and we often have visitors from other philosophy departments. The Colloquium has been held since ancient times (i.e., the late 1960s); but following is a list of presentations from recent years. These seminars commence at 3:30pm and are most often held in Seminar Room 1130 of the Marion McCain Building (unless otherwise indicated).
