Philosophy Speaker Series

Print | PDF

Every year, Laurier’s Department of Philosophy hosts a speaker series that explores different questions, theories and topics. Each session is hosted by a Laurier faculty member or guest speaker. The final session for this year is the MA Philosophy Conference. This day provides an opportunity for our graduate students to present their own papers in a formal setting and address questions and comments from an audience of their peers.
